> How would that global app ban help? You do want the application to steal focus when necessary

Maybe you do. I don't. With this setting we can both be hapopy.

We can't both be happy because the setting does nothing for me.

What? You can set it to let apps steal the focus you want. I can set it to not allow any apps to steal focus. How are we not both satisfied?

I want the setting to steal YOUR focus

[eviks]

That! I don't want apps to steal focus in some conditions. I can't set it like that because the settings are too primitive. Why would I be satisfied with a primitive binary toggle when I want workflow-dependent conditions?

Did you read the documentation I linked? There's also high/medium/low settings that use XDG signals to determine if focus should change.

Did you read my comment? Which of these 3 settings allows focus steal, but not during typing?
