# raiseorlaunch

Run-or-raise-application-launcher for i3 window manager.
If a specified application is already running, it will just focus the window.
If not, it will run the application.

It's also possible to specify a workspace. That way only this workspace will
be used to raise and launch.
workspace_auto_back_and_forth - if enabled - remains functional.
It's also possible to use the scratchpad.

You can specify a window class, instance and/or title.

raiseorlaunch is intended to be used with i3-shortcuts.

It depends on [i3-py](https://github.com/ziberna/i3-py)
