I decided to tune up Krusader's "Start terminal here" to open a new tab in running Konsole instance (via adding --new-tab option) but now after invoking this action (pressing F2) the Konsole window is not focused even though the new tab is opened there.

I tried to use a wrapper script in Terminal Krusader settings which opens a new tab in Konsole and then invokes wmctrl -a "Konsole" but that failed to execute.

Can be script used instead of providing terminal program in Krusader settings?
How to make Konsole window go to top when F2 is pressed in Krusader?

a) file a bug against konsole to request focus when called by that parameter (evtl. for a second switch only)
b) make the wrapper script work - if you can run "konsole --new-tab" there should be absolutely no problem to run a script either. (forgot +x?)

Did you give the wrapper script a shebang and mark it as executable?

That shebank might have been the cause:)

Is the issue now fixed?

I tried to put

Code: Select all

konsole --new-tab --workdir %d && qdbus org.kde.konsole /konsole/MainWindow_1 hide && qdbus org.kde.konsole /konsole/MainWindow_1 show

into Terminal command line field in General > Terminal section of Krusader's settings but it does not work – Konsole's window is not brought to the front.

try "raise"?

As I wrote at viewtopic.php?f=111&t=123976#p344015 raise did not work until I turned Focus stealing prevention in Window Management > Window Behavior from Low to None.
