[Feature] Open Settings Window When Launching from Spotlight (While App Is Already Running)

[salmanuc]

Cotabby primarily operates as a menu bar application, with its main user interface accessible through the Settings window.

Currently, when Cotabby is already running, opening Settings requires multiple steps:

1. Click the menu bar icon.
2. Select Settings.

It would be helpful if launching Cotabby from Spotlight (or Finder) while the app is already running would automatically bring the Settings window to the foreground.

Suggested Behavior

• If Cotabby is not running, launch normally.
• If Cotabby is already running and the user launches it again via Spotlight, Finder, or another app-launch mechanism:
  • Open the Settings window (or bring it to the front if already open).
  • Activate the application and focus the Settings window.

Benefits

• Faster access to the app’s primary interface.
• More consistent with user expectations on macOS, where relaunching an already-running app often brings its main window forward.
• Reduces friction for users who frequently adjust settings but don’t want to navigate through the menu bar each time.

Good idea!
