✨ Disable looping in certain apps

[frieza213]

Feature Request Description

So i don't really want arc to be looping and i think there must be some apps that everyone have which they don't wanna snap, so it would be very nice to have a feature to disable snapping for certain apps

🫣 Wouldn't you just... not activate the loop for that app? I've never had the loop activate on something I didn't want it to.

@Soft-Bred no but like with the mouse drag not keyboard shortcut

[JaceThings]

ah, makes more sense, i have that turned off, too slow 💀

[frieza213]

i use three finger drag when browsing since i am using trackpad to scroll and without using keyboard i can snap but yeah it is slow unless you are using the trackpad actively

Got it, I can look into this!
But I am prioritizing other issues at the moment so this may take a while to implement :)

@Dhairy2003 Please open a new issue for this, as it sounds unrelated to this current one :)

I use a virtual machine (parallels, windows guest) in which some of the key combinations for looping have a different meaning. It would also be easiest here if I could exclude the app, as it always runs in full screen.

I have already experimented a little myself ;-)
The idea is that there is a UserDefaults entry (string array) which contains the bundle IDs of the apps for which the trigger key should be ignored.
It could look like this in the settings:

The + button shows a menu with a list of apps installed in the Applications folder.

In order to ignore those apps I modified the WindowEngine.frontmostWindow function:

    static var frontmostWindow: Window? {
        guard
            let app = NSWorkspace.shared.runningApplications.first(where: { $0.isActive }),
            !Defaults[.applicationBlackList].contains(app.bundleIdentifier ?? ""),
            let window = Window(pid: app.processIdentifier)
        else {
            return nil
        }
        return window
    }

If you're interested I could open a pull request. ;-)

@just-doit that's awesome!! A PR would be great (I will request some small changes too) :)

Done: #253.
This is my very first PullRequest, so I hope you find it useful ;-)
I have committed directly to the "develop" branch. I hope that's not a problem.
