Terminus Tab View steals cursor focus when running some npm scripts

[elzii]

Sample package.json

{                                                                         
  "develop": "concurrently -r \"npm:type-check:watch\" \"npm:start\"",    
  "start": "parcel ./src/index.html",                                     
  "type-check:watch": "tsc --noEmit --watch"
} 

I have Terminus opened in a Tab View. If I make a change to my file when running the type-check:watch or develop commands, whenever I save the file, the cursor focus will switch to the Terminus tab.

It does not happen when running npm run start however.

Here is the log output with sublime.log_commands(True) enabled:

When running npm run type-check:watch and saving a file (PROBLEM):

command: lsp_save
command: save {"async": true}
command: unmark_undo_groups_for_gluing
command: terminus_render
command: terminus_show_cursor
command: terminus_reset
command: unmark_undo_groups_for_gluing
command: unmark_undo_groups_for_gluing
command: terminus_initialize
command: set_layout {"cells": [[0, 0, 1, 1], [1, 0, 2, 1]], "cols": [0.0, 0.521482180478, 1.0], "rows": [0.0, 1.0]}
command: terminus_render
command: terminus_show_cursor

When running npm run start and saving a file (NO PROBLEM)

command: lsp_save
command: save {"async": true}
command: unmark_undo_groups_for_gluing
command: terminus_render
command: terminus_show_cursor
command: terminus_render
command: terminus_show_cursor
command: terminus_render
command: terminus_show_cursor
command: terminus_render
command: terminus_show_cursor
command: terminus_render
command: terminus_show_cursor

The obvious difference is that terminus_reset is being called, which has some window.focus_view() calls in it.

Update 1: This also happens in a panel view, not just tab

Update 2: I've narrowed it down to what's causing it, independent of tsc/concurrent/etc.

You can reproduce by running a node file that calls process.stdout.write("\x1Bc")

Perhaps this is solvable by overriding the escape sequence?

Installed Terminus, instantly ran into this problem. This escape sequence is used for clearing the scrollback, and is commonly used by file-watching tools. It's extremely useful for seeing a "clean" result after every rerun, avoiding confusion with previous results. The focus stealing makes Terminus' tabs incompatible with such tools, and it's a shame. Suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Oh, I just realized I have been ignoring this thread. I am on it now. Basically we need to have a version of terminus_reset that doesn't change focus.

Whoah that was quick. Thanks!

Thank you for bumping it up by the way .
