Is there a way to make application icons in the system tray open the application when clicked instead of showing a menu?
Current/default behavior: Right click and left click on an application icon in the system tray have the same behavior: on press, show/hide a context menu. Double click is treated as two distinct left clicks (open menu, close menu).
Desired behavior: Left click to open the application from tray (without going through the menu). Double click would be okay, but I prefer single left click. Right click should still open the context menu.
The built-in screenshot keybinds don't seem to work when the menu is open, but hopefully it's clear which menu I mean. If not, I can try screen recording and screenshot the video.
I didn't see any settings in these applications to affect tray behavior beyond toggling minimize/exit to tray. Vesktop already works the way I'd like, but Steam, Spotify, and Pasystray* do not.
I'm on Mint 22.2 with Cinnamon, using the built-in XApp Status Applet.
-# * no longer using PulseAudio since I found the Pipewire volume control tool, but since I have so few applications that minimize to tray at the moment, I included it just for comparison.
