Close Everything to tray if it loses focus?

[hellen_dorandt89]

Currently there is this lovely setting to hide everything window after an item is executed, this is great!
Often times though, I perform tasks in other ways for example

• Changed my mind and Alt tab to another window

• Changed my mind and Click away to another window

• after droping .URL files into a browser tab click on browser

• after droping files into explorer click on explorer

When tasks are performed in the above manner, everything still there (in my case set to ON TOP) and I have to come back and close it.


If this feature is not present can you consider adding it? Thanks

Thank you for the suggestion hellen_dorandt89,

Closing the Everything window on deactivate causes too many issues.

For example, click on an item in the taskbar is impossible, because Everything will close and the buttons will move in the taskbar.


Perhaps an option to minimize on deactivate might work?



To enable/disable Everything always being on top:

• In Everything, from the View menu, under the On Top submenu, click Always/Never.

Everything 1.5.0.1311a adds a close_on_deactivate ini setting.

To close an Everything window when it becomes inactive:

• In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:
  /close_on_deactivate=1
• If successful, close_on_deactivate=1 is shown in the status bar for a few seconds.

This works best if you also disable showing Everything in the taskbar:

• In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:
  /show_in_taskbar=0
  If successful, show_in_taskbar=0 is shown in the status bar for a few seconds.

close_on_deactivate
show_in_taskbar

I dont about the show_in_taskbar setting but the close_on_deactivate=1 works perfectly. Once thanks so much for implementing this! if only other devolopers were like you I cannot wait to see how you will interpret a command bar for everything!
