Toggle active window

Nyrna can be used to toggle the suspend / resume state of one active window:

• Windows
  • In settings enable Close to tray, and configure a hotkey. While Nyrna is opened or in the system tray this hotkey will trigger suspend/resume for the actively focused window.
    • You can also set Nyrna to run automatically when you sign in.
• Linux
  • Set a hotkey in system settings to run the nyrna executable with the --toggle flag, example:

    ~/Applications/Nyrna/nyrna –toggle

  or

  • Set a hotkey in Nyrna’s settings the same way as for Windows.

Now simply press the hotkey on your keyboard to have the window of your currently active application suspended. A subsequent press will resume that application.

Tip: You can use something like AntiMicro to trigger this hotkey with your gamepad, allowing you to suspend/resume your game with just your controller.
