[Feature Request] Scratchpads

[KoshulaDora]

Definition: For the uninitiated, scratchpads are essentially programs you can define in config as special windows, which lets you summon them once then freely dismiss and summon them with same keybinding.

Usecase: Scratchpads are useful if you have a couple of things you need in more than one workspace and don't want to scroll or change workspaces to find them. For example, a calculator which you can start/summon/dismiss with meta-f7 lets you use it without hassle in either budgeting for month or doing accounting/math/homework/gaming. Notepad-like editors and things like obsidian and floating terminals are also convenient when they are one keychord away from summoning/dismissing.

Wms that implement them: Then ones I know are xmonad, i3, hyprland. There are probably more.
