For testing

Hide-popup test

wincraft --test-hide-popup checks whether WinCraft can hide the hover thumbnail popup of the taskbar the moment the mouse opens it. It also measures how long the popup was visible first.

  • Win+number and Alt+Tab are always left alone.
  • The last 10 seconds only watch. They show that the popup works normally again.
  • Add --dry-run to hide nothing.

This is a step towards opening the WinCraft Arrange strip instead of the hover preview of Windows.
