If I'm using firefox already, this key combination will open a new firefox window with translate, yet it will not have focus. This is problematic in that I must then type <alt><tab> to focus the window. Steps: 1. create a custom shortcut to the command "/usr/bin/firefox --browser --new-window translate.google.com" 2. open a firefox window. 3. type the shortcut. 4. see that the window does not have focus (even if it may appear in front!) --- ApportVersion: 2.20.7-0ubuntu3.7 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME DisplayManager: gdm3 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 17.10 GsettingsChanges: org.gnome.shell enabled-extensions ['[email protected]', '[email protected]', '[email protected]', '[email protected]', '[email protected]', '[email protected]'] org.gnome.shell enable-hot-corners true org.gnome.shell favorite-apps ['googleinbox.desktop', 'googlecalendar.desktop', 'org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop', 'firefox.desktop'] org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-im-module 'gtk-im-context-simple' org.gnome.desktop.interface monospace-font-name 'Ubuntu Mono 11' InstallationDate: Installed on 2018-01-05 (47 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 17.04 "Zesty Zapus" - Release amd64 (20170412) NonfreeKernelModules: wl Package: gnome-shell 3.26.2-0ubuntu0.1 PackageArchitecture: amd64 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.13.0-32.35-generic 4.13.13 Tags: artful Uname: Linux 4.13.0-32-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to artful on 2018-01-05 (47 days ago) UserGroups: adm cdrom dip lpadmin plugdev sambashare sudo _MarkForUpload: True To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1732704/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
