Is it possible to hide and toggle visibility instead of relaunching it? about rapidlauncher

The original idea was to restart each time the application to avoid a waste of memory (keeping the application window hidden). Anyway, I added a command-line option (inmem) to run a single-istance of the application, thus now each time you want to open the application it will be already in memory (i.e. it is fast).

to keep the application in memory run:
rapidlauncher inmem

Thank you for the reply. I tried that branch, I have an old laptop, unfortunately I don't notice any improvement on launching speed. It takes 13 seconds when no other application is running.

I pushed two new commits to fix some focus issues and arguments processing. Try to compile again the program from the master branch. Then, cd into the build folder where is located the binary and execute ./rapidlauncher inmem in a terminal and press Esc to hide the window. At this point rapidlauncher should still be running, look at the terminal or check with a new terminal executing the following command: ps aux | grep rapidlauncher. Now, try to re-open rapidlauncher from another terminal, you can use both ./rapidlauncher or ./rapidlauncher inmem it doesn't matter, the important thing is that you started rapidlauncher the first time with the inmem option. It should open in few seconds. Let me know :)
