KDE notifications steal focus and change workspace #18

Closed lytex closed 2 years ago

lytex commented 2 years ago

When working in a multi-monitor setup, the notifications always pop up it the "main" workspace, the one the KDE panel is in.

However, doing so steals focus from the current workspace

For example let's say you are writing an email in the workspace 2, and you have your browser opened in the workspace 1, which is the main workspace. Then a notification pops up and forces the focus on the workspace 1. Even if you kill the window with an i3 command, the focus is on the workspace 1 so that if you keep on typing, the text will be actually written on the url bar of the browser

Are you having this same issue? Do you have a workaround?

Probably the Adding stuff to the i3 config covers that, I'll reopen the issue if it's not working after adding that configuration

To improve compatibility with Plasma, add the following lines in your i3 config.
