Change the browser opened based on the current Space

Open JohnLockeNJ opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

Could you add a feature that changes the browser opened based on what Space you are in?

I have different Spaces/virtual desktops (ie Desktop 1, Desktop 2, etc. in Mission Control) for Personal, Job 1, and Job 2, and I run different browsers in each. It would be great if links I click on from any program in a given Space only opened the browser that I would assign to that Space in finicky.

This seems like a feature that could be implemented at the same time as this feature request to add the ability to force a new browser window to open in a Space if it isn't running already https://github.com/johnste/finicky/issues/221

+1 If I have two browsers (Brave and Chrome), after I close Brave, with the option Current Browser, the link should open in the browser active or open, that it is Chrome.

This is how I found finicky to begin with - I wanted a different default browser per space (for me it's 'personal' and 'work'). I have been able to more or less get around it by setting the default to Safari and adding a handler for all my work apps (Outlook, Teams, etc) to go to Chrome, but this would simplify the config to one option (Space 1 => Safari, Space 2 => Chrome).

Still very happy with the product, this would just make it even better!
