[Feature Request] - Being able to activate services individually per account

[Jvlsc]

Hello:

I was wondering if it would be possible to active services individually for every account (not only email). So, every active service would have a tab in the main toolbar and stay active all time. I think it could improve usability keeping email always active and have the other services in different tabs also ready.

Additionally, a keyboard shortcut to move quickly between tabs would be interesting. It can be achieved in different ways, but I think map tabs in order with Ctrl+1, Ctrl+2... would be great.

I hope these considerations are useful.

Kind regards.

Proton still allows login via any email identity you have in the list. So the workaround is to add to the app the same account multiple times with a different login name (email identity). But still in this case an "entry service option" would be helpful as switching to the needed service every time you start the app, like mail/drive/account/calendar/vpn, would be a headache.

This is landing in the v5.3.0 (already implemented in the wip branch):

• Enable support for selecting entry Proton app ([Feature Request] - Being able to activate services individually per account #502). This makes it convenient to use several Proton services of the same account loaded in individual tabs.

  

  It's know that Proton allows sign-in via any email address you have in the account. Even on a free account with a single email address in the account, it's possible to use at least two logins. Which is the email address itself and the part of the email address that is placed before "@".

  So, having possibility to sign-in in the same account using different logins, you can add in the app several account records for the same account, and assign each record own Proton app to load.

  By the way, notice the "Login Alias" input field on the screenshot (originally introduced in v4.0.0). It can be used for naming the account tabs, like for example "Mail" and "Calendar".

This got released in v5.3.0. Hotkeys is something different from this issue.

Thank you so much for your dedication and work on this app.

I've just tested this new feature, and it works great.

Kind regards
