It's not consistent. That's why I said "often". There is a setting in Personal Settings for Window Behaviour. At someone's advice here, I changed it to "Focus follows mouse", but it didn't do much.
that was me, mentioning "focus follows mouse," but i neither use nor recommend it; i find it rather confusing.
+1. "don't do that, then"
i expect the focus to remain ideally where i want or expect it, but if that's not the case for some reason, at least where it's at -- not follow the mouse all over the place. i often do things like hovering over taskbar icons or the clock, and having the focus following all that would drive me mad.
I tried it once ... never again!
But whatever settings I have, yes when a new window/application comes up then focus switches there.
I suppose we could go through the settings one by one, but there so much, key bindings, and more.
Have a look at "Window behaviour" -> "focus stealing prevention"
yes, setting up behavior rules for certain windows is nice, but i often find these settings get screwed up: either by a plasma crash, or by an update sooner or later. happened a few times that i had to remove most of my painstakingly prepared window rules, because at one point all windows opened as tiny squares in the upper left corner, per example. now i use that only sparingly. -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
