Cant open zeal from tray.

This is a blocker. I forgot my hotkey. Zeal is inaccessible.

Archlinux, zeal-git 0.2.1.10.g57185b4-1, cinnamon

What's your desktop environment? AppIndicator menu has a Show/Hide item (since 0.2.0). And a tray icon is expected to support single mouse clicks. As a quick solution take a peek in `~/.config/Zeal/Zeal.conf`.

Cinnamon 2.8.6-1. I checked this. The hotkey doesn't work either, but thats an other issue.

Interesting. I'll need to install Cinnamon, and check. It's unclear whether it is a tray icon or indicator. Do you have `sni-qt` or `sni-qt5` package installed?

Do you have sni-qt or sni-qt5 package installed?

No. I just installed sni-qt but nothing changes. However pacman description says its a qt4 plugin. sni-qt5 is not available in the official repos.

Maybe this is of interest. I know nothing about tray icons and indicators, but somehow regarding user experience there are two categoreies of tray icons: The first opens the app on leftclick, rightclick opens a context menu. The second opens the context menu on left click, right-click opens the context menu of the cinnamon systray applet, wich contains the systray icons. Zeal and Telegram behave like the latter.

Additional things that may be helpful:

• Zeal and Telegram are both qt5. Goldendict (qt4) is of the first group.
• This SO answer

Looks like the problem is Cinnamon specific: linuxmint/cinnamon#4946 One of the comments mentions that it's possible to disable indicators (icons which show menu on left click) via “System Settings” -> “General” -> “Enable support for indicators”. I need to figure out whether Cinnamon is compatible with Unity's indicators. If so, a detection of Cinnamon in Zeal will fix the actual problem.

I've got Cinnamon 2.8.6 on Mint 17.3, and I cannot reproduce this. Zeal is always using tray icon, so I can do a left click to show and hide it. I am not sure how to make it an indicator...

@ManuelSchneid3r, please verify that the problem is fixed for you.
