start hidden at boot

[jomaweb]

I have a working script that parses for matching text inside a file when keybinding Ctrl+L is pressed.

Works great so far but two annoying thins I want to change:

1. the window opens when booting the PC and keeps in the middle of screen until I close it. I would like to start hidden
2. the sucessive calls the inserted text is not removed so I have to clean the text box again and again every time I use it. I would like the textbox cleaned when losing focus (Escape key)
