Description

I exclusively use keybase to chat with colleagues. I usually keep the keybase app minimised to tray. But the workflow to bring back the chat window is excessively convoluted:

  • Click on keybase tray icon
  • Click on "show keybase" (the only option, so really it should do by default)
  • Select some random chat element on the popup
  • Finally have access to the GUI and type my message

Please introduce a configuration setting to skip the popup entirely which would at worse reduce this flow. Slack for example only requires 3 clicks to show the main window.

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests. Start by locating the tray “show keybase” action and the popup flow in the client, then identify where configuration settings are defined. Done means a setting can bypass the popup and open the main chat window directly.
