I love the desktop app for windows, but when I hit ALT+space bar, a small “fast window” appears. If I want to reach the main window with my chat history, I must click that little icon at the top right corner.
It’s not a big deal if you need to do it here and there, but when working with this app massively, it becomes quite annoying and tedious!!
Can you allow the app to be opened to the “main” window by default?
Exactly. I was playing with the app and it’s quickly become incredibly annoying to always press that button to “open in the main window”. Please add a shortcut or a command option switch!
exactly, it defeats the purpose otherwise. I mean it doesn’t do any automation in windows. At least there is a quick way to open gpt at any place. But 99% of the times i want to move on with my old chat history, and not open thousands of new threads that will burry my old chats. it needs 3 clicks to go to the old threads. it defeats the purpose because i could go to my browser tab with same or less clicks…
I found a bit of a workaround by using powertoys shortcut maker.
Create a powershell script chatgpt.ps1
Paste Start-Process “chatgpt” into the file and save
remap a shortcut with powertoys and point it to run program
set app to %SystemRoot%\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe\
set args to -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File “C:\PATHTOFILE\chatgpt.ps1”
Set If Running to Start another
That’s it, this will open the main window with whatever shortcut you set. It does pop up a powershell window briefly but otherwise it should work to bring up the main window directly.
