Freeze shortcut for special application

Hi!

Thanks for this awesome app! 
Please add one more feature: set special key for app and freeze this shortcut. 

For example:

[Freeze]
gvim = v 
chromium-browser = c

Thanks!

Is it possible to minimize windows by same key if it is visible

Really nice tool, was looking for it for a long time.

For my workflow I need to have the ability to temporary show and hide window (for example) TelegramDesktop, for example, now i need to

1. click super+t -> telegram shown
2. click super+p -> pycharm shown, telegram hidden

It will be really nice instead

1. click super+t -> telegram shown
2. click super+t -> telegram hidden

Other

• IF telegram is not visible!! on the screen - it will be shown

• IF multiple TG available, next will be shown

• example how to get if win is visible https://github.com/ikem-krueger/sleep-walker/blob/develop/src/usr/lib/sleep-walker/daemon/xcovered.py

feature request LIFO

Hi,

Thank you a lot for implementing hot keys to run application when it isn't 
opened yet. It works awesome!

Would it be possible to implement the last important thing: 

Rise on a hot key the last active window instead of the first one. In order to 
access  the last active window it is required to press a few times the same key 
now. 
In other words - to make windows accessible as LIFO

I think it was mention on your blog before.

Thank you for your work!

run application on shortcuts in case it isn't active yet

Hi,

Thanks a lot for this awesome switcher. It is even better then Unity where 
isn't possible to set custom shortcuts and I am free now to switch to other DM.

The only things it is missing yet for my opinion is to run application on 
shortcuts when no windows are open yet. That would be awesome options.

So for example I have set super+t to switch terminals. When I don't have any 
terminal opened yet, it should run it.

Python3 version?

Are there any plans to support python3?

'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 0-8: ordinal not in range(128)

thank you for this great window manager.
I have a small issue though.

I get this error 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 0-8: ordinal not in range(128) when I try to open some website in cyrilic for example this one seoprofy.ua

I have replaced the string
return prop.value.decode('utf-8', 'ignore_log')
to
return prop.value

I think there might be a problem in case the decode is needed, so just to let you know you may want to take a look at it.

Looking forward for the LIFO feature!

Thank you !

Block some app from key assign

I would like to use 'n' for nautilus, but app with class 
desktop_window.Nautilus catch it. I set up in RULES section 

...
# don't bind windows that don't have class property
class.desktop_window = 
...

or 

title..*x-nautilus-desktop.* = zz

But it didn't work, in previous version last option work good.

My RULES section

---
class.desktop_window = 
class.chromium-browser = !c
class.gvim = !v
class.nautilus = !n
class.gnome-terminal = !t
class.pidgin = !p
class.skype = !s
