Hi at all,

firstly many thanks to everyone behind this great KDE SC !!!

My question is very simple, but I can't find any useful answer/solution:

If I in example open an URL from an existing application by using

Code: Select all

kfmclient openURL 'http://www...'

than KDE is going to open the URL in the standard web-browser. But the window of the web-browser isn't focused on top. It is placed behind the application - which ran the command above ^^^ before the web-browser was started ...

So does you know any option or an command - i.e. for KWin - which lets me focus a window to the top so that other window will stay behind them ?

Gürkan

As far as I can see in KWin's D-Bus API, this is not a possibility. However, the behaviour you experience should not occur.

Please try adding "sleep 5s &&" to the beginning of your command, then minimise the terminal.

Hi bcooksley, sorry for my late answer (was bussy for a time ...)

I think you misunderstand my posting above. What I'm looking for is a way to focus a Window by a command/application ... (?)

Is there any possible solution for that?

As far as I know, it isn't possible. Some X command may exist however, or the KWin developers may know.

Try reducing the focus stealing prevention in KWin.
