Last Context#

Last Context helps you pick up where you left off. When you switch away from a preset, DockFlow asks for a short status note. When you come back, it shows you that note.

Turn it on#

Open Settings → Presets & Switching and turn on Show Last Context when switching presets. It is off by default.

Options#

  • Ask for a status before leaving a preset — Prompt you to leave a short update before switching away. On by default.
  • Show saved Last Context when arriving — Display the last saved context for the preset you just switched to. On by default.
  • Auto-close Last Context popup — Close the popup automatically after a short delay. On by default.
  • Auto-close after — How long the popup stays open, from 5 to 60 seconds in steps of 5. The default is 30 seconds.
  • Auto-focus status field — Place the cursor in the status field when the popup opens. On by default.

The popup#

When you switch, the Last Context popup shows which preset you are switching to and from.

  • To leave a note for the preset you are leaving, type a quick status in the field, for example what you did and what happens next. Press ⇧ Return or click Save.
  • The saved note for the preset you are arriving at is shown with its status, any next steps, and when it was saved.
  • Press Escape or click Close to dismiss the popup.

While auto-close is on, the popup shows a countdown. The countdown pauses while the status field has the cursor.

Review saved notes#

The Saved Context list in Settings → Presets & Switching shows the note saved for each preset, or Status not set. Click Edit to change a note.
