Workspaces help me organize things on the Budgie desktop. I keep a half-dozen—each bound to a shortcut key—and some of the workspaces have an app opened full screen, like a terminal or web browser, etc. After boot-up, the apps used daily are auto-started and assigned to particular workspaces using Budgies Window Shuffler Window Rules and xdotool
.
Previously when switching workspaces, on landing at the terminal workspace for example, it would assume focus without the need to click to bring the app into focus. This behaviour has stopped working (after the Budgie update I think, but after the recent batches of updates any way).
Related dconf
settings here:
org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences focus-mode 'click'
com.solus-project.budgie-wm focus-mode false
Both of the above are the default values.
I know about "sloppy" and "mouse over" focus, but I'm used to "focus on click", and ideally want to use that mode on each workspace, but when I switch workspace I'd like focus to switch to the app on that workspace, allowing me, for example, to begin typing straight into the terminal without having to leave the keyboard and reach for the mouse to click.
Any ideas?
