[Solved] Getting Keepass to behave like a proper desktop app

apastuszak · 2017-09-04 22:02:15

I am using Keepass right now, because of all the Keepass-like apps, it is the only one that can do a record by record bi-directional synchronization between two files. I'm not one of those purists that won't install Mono, so I have no issue using Keepass over KeepassX or KeepassXC.

Where I am running into a problem is how it interacts with Gnome Shell.

Right now, I am using the Dash to Dock Gnome Shell extension enabled, and have minimizing turned on in Gnome Tweak tool. When I launch Keepass, a dot appears under the Keepass icon in Dash, but when I minimize the app, the dot disappears. And if I try and do an Alt+Tab, to switch to Keepass, it does not show up as an app that's running. I need to actually click on the icon in Dash to get the app to open back up. I'm assuming that a lot of this behaviour is because this is a Windows app that uses Mono to run natively on Linux.

Which is fine. I'd just like it to show up as a running app when minimized. Has anyone found a way to get Keepass to behave a little better in Linux.

Ok, you can ignore me. I had "minimize to tray instead of taskbar turned on." Turned that off and Keepass will now minimize and I don't lose the dot in Dash.
