![]() ![]() ![]() preferences focus-mode 'click'Īnd here are the results of my tests in terminal (opening gedit and also + + ) and nautilus (opening a CSV file in the file manager) to know whether the respective new windows are raised and/or focused. $gsettings list-recursively | grep 'raise\|focus' | grep pref Instead, it seems that gsettings set .preferences focus-new-windows 'smart' is the setting that raises and focuses the new window. I also changed some gsettings and now it seems that gsettings set .preferences focus-new-windows 'strict' does not behave according to my statements before this update. focus (or active) = The window to which input is directed. ![]() raise = raises a window to the top of a window stack (moves it to the front of the display).I recently learned that the two modes for a window are: So, why does strict not work if an instance of LibreOffice is already open and I open another instance from a web browser? However, if do NOT have any instance of LibreOffice open and go through steps 2 through 6, then the strict does work (GOOD), meaning that an instance of LibreOffice Calc opens and steals focus. So, it seems a new instance of LibreOffice Calc opened for the CSV, but it is tied to the other, pre-existing instance of LibreOffice and, therefore, it does NOT steal the focus. I + to the pre-existing open instance of LibreOffice Calc and there is a pop-up dialogue prompting me to indicate what encoding to open the CSV file in.I expected an instance of LibreOffice Calc to become the active window over the Firefox web page I was on, but it did not. I select Open with and nothing seems to happen ( WHY?). I click on the link to download/open the CSV file.Ī pop-up displays, prompting me to do either of the following:.In firefox, I load a web page that displays a link to a remote CSV file.I open an instance of firefox version 72.0.1 (64-bit).I open an instance of LibreOffice Calc Version: 6.0.7.3 (or any instance of LibreOffice ).On ubuntu 18.04.3, gsettings set .preferences focus-new-windows 'strict' does not work if I open a CSV file from a web browser and an instance of LibreOffice is already open. ![]()
