I want to be able to use Super+Up and Super+Down to switch between grouped windows, and Super+Right and Super+Left to switch between tabs within those groups. Here's the section of my .fluxbox/keys file I'm using to achieve this effect:
Mod4 Up :PrevGroup 0
Mod4 Down :NextGroup 0
Mod4 Left :PrevTab
Mod4 Right :NextTab
Problem is, if I use Super+Up to bring a group forward, clicking on a group behind it won't raise the clicked-on group unless I click on the group I just raised first.
So if, for example, I have an xterm behind firefox, then use Super+Up to bring xterm to the front, then click on firefox, the xterm will still appear to be in front of firefox -- although, firefox will have focus.
However, if I have an xterm behind firefox, then use Super+Up to bring xterm to the front, and then click on the xterm or type a key before clicking on firefox, everything works normally and the xterm won't hide firefox. I don't want to have to do the part in italics, though.
On a possibly related note, when I bring an application forward using the same Super_Up key combo, the application won't capture the first keystroke or two.
Does anyone know how I can fix this? Here's my full keys file:
