I use the KDE Plasma search to switch between windows. The Problem is, that it only put the window in foreground, but does not select it. That means when I switch to Vim, then I have to search for the window to put it in foreground and then click it before I can write.

Does someone experience the same problem? Did you solve it?

(Version 5.5.5)

At here the default is the 'Click To Focus'.



Maybe you will want more 'Focus Follows Mouse' ?

KDE System Settings > Window Management > Window Behavior
Direct:

Code: Select all

kcmshell5 kwinoptions

Thank you, that's also an interesting option.

The switching worked in my previous KDE version. So it that ab bug?

Well, there is a bug report: Bug 350732 - windows, activated from krunner, doesn't get focus - https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=350732

Okay, thanks i'll post there what I found out.

When setting the policy to Hover in "kcmshell5 kwinoptions" it works. But i do not like the hovering, so it does not fix my problem.
