Description

Terminal windows can disappear temporarily after launching a graphical program, keeping the workspace cleaner.

It is useful for users who start editors, file managers, or viewers from the terminal and do not want the launcher terminal to stay visible. The behavior depends on window matching, so rules may need tuning.

How to run
