Automatically start Locu during startup

Feature Request

Hi,

It would be great if Locu is able to start automatically during startup (runs in the background) and be able to bring it out by using a shortcut key.

    Hey @Irfan Khaidhir , we just released v0.29.0 which has support both for automatic launch during startup, as well as customizable global shortcut to open Locu! Check it out!

      I found a small bug when testing this. When the app is closed by clicking the X button, it will take slightly longer for the app to come out with the global shortcut.

        Thanks for feedback @Irfan Khaidhir , we’ll investigate if it’s possible to improve launch speed in this case.

    Hi Irfan 👋

    Thanks for reaching out!

    Yes, we can add an option to automatically start Locu during OS startup.

    For the shortcut key, do you use software to control multiple apps via shortcuts or would you prefer it explicitly for Locu? Do you have any other apps that you control like this via a global shortcut?

    I’m trying to understand your setup as there are apps that let you bind apps to global shortcuts.

    Thanks!

      I would prefer it explicitly for Locu as I don’t use a software specifically to control multiple apps. Other apps that I use have their own shortcut keys to open the app. The shortcut key may conflict with other apps’ shortcut key but if it customizable then it should be okay.
