> KiCAD needs to control focus.

I don't know what KiCAD is, but it certainly does not need to control focus OS wide. Only between its own windows.

It's probably not KiCAD's fault that the windowing system doesn't work like that, but still...

Which isn't exactly the same issue, so indeed it doesn't need to control focus.

That sounds like my problem with focus being stolen by random apps while i work :)
