Prevent positioned floating menus from attached to modal dialogs

[jmckalex]

Hello,

I’ve configured a couple floating menus to act as “overlays” to the Nova editor, giving me a configurable interface for commonly used tasks. I have these positioned relative to the window which has focus, in regions of the screen which aren’t used for anything. However, as you can see from the screen shots below, when a modal dialog is opened, the floating menus attach themselves to the dialog.

Is there a way to make the floating menus a little “smarter” so that they don’t follow dialogs like this? I know I could position them relative to the screen, but I flip between working on my laptop and an Apple Studio monitor, so the screen size / position of the window is not predictable.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

@xidiot, this "Specific Window's" is an option in the latest alphas which I'm currently still working on

However you can try the options in "Conditional Visibility":

Oddly, I have the “Require non-empty window title” box ticked and, from what I can tell, the dialog which still has the floating menus attached has no title. I’ve attached two screenshots from notifications which display {BTTActiveWindowTitle} in the body of the notification.

Here’s when the cursor is in a normal editor window:

And here is when the modal dialog is active:

So I guess the modal dialog has a generic default title which isn’t shown, which causes the floating menus to still be positioned... It looks like I’ll have to wait for the release of the alpha!
