Hi,
Currently I'm using XFCE, but this question is not strictly xfce related as I'm willing to adopt new environment, which solves this issue.
My problem is, that I have to use apps, which steals focus from another window. If I click some icon, or invoke action, app window gets focus. The problem is, that given action sometimes takes lets say 30s. And since I do another work meantime, when focus got switched, I continue writing in another window, confirming unwanted actions (even if I do not look at keyboard while writing, I still pressed 'cancel' so many times ...)
The only solution I know, is to forbid that and changing focus with mouse, but that doubles clicking for most of actions ~ start chrome, give focus to it — for example. Is there a better solution to it? Like blacklisting apps which cannot steal focus, or "app can request focus only if there was mouseclick in it during last second"?
thanks,
mar.
