Frame visibility on top #46

Closed fleimgruber closed 6 years ago

fleimgruber commented 6 years ago

The Emacs capture frame opens but is hidden by the browser (Firefox) window. I am using macOS so went with the Applescript handler. Is there a way to display the capture frame on top of the other windows? Or switch to the frame directly?

I have the same problem, but I don't think this has to do with org-capture-extension. If I don't (require 'org-protocol), for example, then the Emacs frame will come to the front.

I couldn't work around the issue so I just hacked away with Hammerspoon.

Add the following to your init.lua:

function emacsclientWatcher(appName, eventType, appObject)
  if (eventType == hs.application.watcher.activated) then
    if (appName == "Emacsclient") then
      -- Bring Emacs to Front
      hs.osascript.applescript('tell application "Emacs" to activate')
    end
  end
end
appWatcher = hs.application.watcher.new(emacsclientWatcher)
appWatcher:start()

Nice workaround @dangom, thanks! @fleimgruber Did that work for you? If not, could you be more specific regarding which Applescript handler you are referring to?

fleimgruber commented 6 years ago

I ended up doing the capture in Org mode directly, so did not try this again. Feel free to close if the workaround is good enough for you

Just curious, what do you mean by "directly"?

fleimgruber commented 6 years ago

Sure, I use a variant of https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/83frxm/reading_managing_annotating_and_highlighting/dvhi9ba/

So basically copy-paste?

Yes, it was the lowest common denominator across reading RSS, emails and browser.
