I played around with kupfer and synapse yesterday just to see what else is

because it has so few integration points to other things.
Kupfer was more interesting, especially with one action that bubbled to the
top, which was "Go to". To explain, if I don't have firefox running and I
type "fi" it would suggest "Run". But if I did have it running it would
suggest "Go to". The go to actions seemed pinned to the top, though I
didn't experiment for too long.
This is already possible in Do. Just has a different name.
Enable the Window Manager plugin in preferences. Then you can see new
actions for launchers (that it can match), one of which is 'Focus'.
While this is true, there is a huge difference in seemlessness between
"fi<enter>" and "fi<tab>f<enter>". In playing with kupfer for a couple
hours the behavior was just straight up brilliant.
This was a really great feature, and I'm curious how hard it would be to do
with the existing do infrastructure. Can an action have priority over
others? Can we filter out command start for applications that are already
running (or at least lower the priority)?

I don't think it can give higher/lower priorities to Run and Focus
based on if the app is running. It definitely doesn't do that now,
but I am not sure it even could do that. At any rate you can type
'firefox'<tab> 'focus' and get it.

There is no silver bullet. Plus, werewolves make better neighbors
than zombies, and they tend to keep the vampire population down.
