I think this should be added:
c:add_signal("tagged", check_focus)
to autofocus.lua in this section:
client.add_signal("new", function(c)
c:add_signal("untagged", check_focus)
c:add_signal("property::hidden", check_focus)
c:add_signal("property::minimized", check_focus)
end)
Seems to trivial to send a patch for. If it is right please someone with
commit access add it.
I am running awesome 3.4.5 installed from debian repository and I do not
have it.
