Enter PiP when switching windows

Pasithea0

We already enter PiP when switching tabs, but when I switch windows or apps, it doesn't. It should enter PiP when I cmd + tab or switch to desktops.

Also it should enter pip when minimizing into dock

Hey! Are there browsers that currently support that feature?

mrmanafon

laiz As far as i know - no. The current behaviour of Orion is in-line with what others do. Now that I think about it, perhaps it'd be too invasive to force PiP on so many actions. 🤷

laiz yes, Arc handles PiP exceptionally well!

mrmanafon ^ Arc is the best example for this

This is also a pet pave with Orion PiP when you use a custom position selected holding down the command key. It doesn't remember where it was asked to sit. It may be nicer to have the PiP window free floating and remembering where it was put at to view.

Arc doesn't enter PiP when switching windows or minimizing the application.
Arc does enter PiP when switching spaces.

There is confusion here about the term "windows". @laiz What Orion calls "windows" are in fact "spaces" in Arc - and yes, when switching spaces, Arc immediately opens the PiP - Orion doesn't, but should.

So now that that has been cleared up - here is an example of what Arc does when switching "spaces". (Remember, spaces==windows in Orion).

As comparison, here is what works in Orion - visiting a different tab:

Versus, what doesn't work in Orion - opening a new window, or switching between windows/spaces.

I see the planned tag got added, that's amazing! If this feature could be enhanced to include switching workspaces/virtual desktops (Mac/linux respectively) I would be an extremely happy camper.

Should I start another thread to track that addition?

mrmanafon

RageLtd Omg yes i Don't know how i forgot about having this when switching virtual desktops! @Yannick should we open a new ticket?

mrmanafon No, that's good, we've got this 🙂
