  • Description:
    I have a scratchpad setup where I put some apps into the scratchpad by app_id and assign hotkeys to access them quickly. So first I have a for_window directive that puts them into scratchpad, and a separate bindsym with scratchpad show.

I've noticed that sometimes, while clicking inside the app, it randomly disappears. This happens with Telegram and a Chrome web app that I use in a separate window. How can I prevent apps from being hidden randomly? I've been wondering: do I need to introduce state and instead write a script that toggles scratchpad mode based on window state?
