### Reporting an issue I'm experiencing with focus behavior in Windows Virtual Desktop Helper

I'm currently using your program to efficiently switch virtual desktops with hotkeys. However, I've encountered a problem where switching desktops doesn't automatically focus on the active window on the new desktop.

For example, if I'm working in Visual Studio Code on Desktop 1 and switch to Desktop 2 where I have Microsoft Word open, the focus remains on the previously active window in VS Code. This requires me to manually switch focus to the Word window using "Windows + Tab" or clicking on it directly.

I've checked the program settings to see if there are options related to focus behavior, but haven't found anything relevant.

I would be grateful if you could consider implementing a feature that automatically switches focus to the active window on the new desktop when switching virtual desktops. This would significantly improve my workflow and likely benefit other users as well.

This was really bothering me as well, just raised a PR: https://github.com/dankrusi/WindowsVirtualDesktopHelper/pull/152 It would be helpful if you can test this build version and report back if this fixes it.

I appreciate your help, that definitely resolved the issue. Thanks a lot.

Just a heads up, I'm experiencing an occasional glitch with the virtual desktop hotkeys. While the focus issue is resolved, [for example] sometimes hitting the hotkey for Desktop 4 sends me to Desktop 2 first. A second press then correctly switches me to Desktop 4. It's not constant, but it's happening fairly frequently.
