Focus screen when moving window to new screen #228

Open konstantinkobs opened 6 years ago

konstantinkobs commented 6 years ago

I wrote a config that moves the currently focused window to a new screen by setting the Rect of the window to coordinates inside the target screen. This works fine, however, the new screen won't get focused. The old screen is focused instead and if I use another shortcut, for example to center the window on the screen, the window jumps back to the old window.

Is there a way to focus the new screen explicitly or is there a function better than setting the Rect for the window to move the window to the new screen?

Hi! Hmm, you could try focusing the window again after moving…

I tried that, but unfortunately, this did not have any effect. I also got the target screen's active space and manually added the window to it, but this didn't work either. 🙁

Ok, thanks! I’ll look into it.
