I use Krunner to move between running apps but focus is not given to them in my multi-monitor setup. I'd like to see KRunner definitively put focus on the selected app, maybe even with an option move the cursor to the newly focused window. As it stands now, KRunner will only bring the window to the foreground but it doesn't have focus. Sometimes it doesn't even do that. In either case, I always have to move the mouse and click the window to give it focus.

I found a work around. It's not perfect but does focus the apps. I set the Window Actions for Mouse Focus to max, or one step before it with a 3 second delay. That allows the apps to get focused from Krunner, and to move windows between monitors with shortcuts. I do have to click windows to focus them when not using Krunner, and sometimes focus is stolen from the active window after the 3 second delay. Meh, it's good enough for now.
