Re: [Bug-apl] ⎕plot focus

[Dr . Jürgen Sauermann]

Hi Hudson,

not sure if I can do anything about this in a portable way.

One thing that annoyed me in X from day one is that creating a new window
moves the focus to the new window. If the new window is for output only then
this is only annoying because you loose the focus in the window that you are
typing into (I'm a command-line guy).

For that reason I grabbed the window back automatically after the ⎕PLOT
window
was created. If that causes the plot window to be minimized (I don't
know because
my machine behaves differently) then you could try to comment out the
following
lines in *Quad_PLOT.cc* (around line 1330):

 *        xcb_set_input_focus(conn, XCB_INPUT_FOCUS_PARENT,**
**                            focusReply->focus, XCB_CURRENT_TIME);**
*
If not then please provide a solution to the problem. If it is portable
(and not creating
additional dependencies on libraries) then I will include it.

Apart from that the *wmctrl* approach proposed by *enztec* looks good to me.

Best Regards,
/// Jürgen
