Left-click action for tray icon on Linux.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Kind of. Currently, when hiding WebCord (e.g. exiting the app, which moves it to the tray), you have to then right click the icon and press the Toggle button, to re-show WebCord.

Describe the solution you’d like

As an optional setting, available from the settings page, I’d like to have the ability to left-click (i.e. just press) the icon, to toggle the visibility of the WebCord window. The right-click settings could stay intact.

MOD EDIT: This is more a bug description about known Linux limitation in Electron that has been recently resolved; I will update tags accordingly to use it for tracking this issue in WebCord.

There should not be any difference between this method and closing the window. Moreover, there should be no difference when hiding window with Toogle option:

Just tested it again and for me it worked like this:

* Hide window by closing it: The window does not show up in the list of open apps, but is in tray (this is what I wanted)

* Hide window by pressing the toggle button in tray: does the same thing

* Hide window by clicking the tray icon: The window is "Hidden" by GNOME's standards, but is not actually closed and can still be visible when checking all the open apps.

From what I understand from your code all three options use the same parent.hide() function, so this is most likely a GTK/GNOME problem. In that case thanks for the thorough explanation and for trying to fix the problem 😃

Testing on XFCE4 after removing libappindicator it works excatly the same in all three cases. The window is hidden and can be neither found with <kbd>ALT</kbd>+<kbd>TAB</kbd> nor in taskbar. So that seems to be a GNOME-specific issue, maybe not related to WebCord at all.

I might still implemented it on macOS/Windows or Linux with GtkStatusIcon through… and this was something I’ve originally planned to do.
