Hi.
I'm the developer of SwayNotificationCenter which uses the wlr-layer-shell-v1
wayland protocol to display notifications. I've since noticed that setting the
"popup" notifications surface keyboard interactivity mode to `ON_DEMAND`
behaves differently on each compositor. This is needed to allow for input
fields within each notification.
So this is currently how it works on different compositors:
- Sway: Never steals focus unless the EXCLUSIVE mode is set
- Niri, Hyprland, Labwc: ON_DEMAND only steals the focus if the surface is
mapped with said mode, not when toggling between NONE and ON_DEMAND while
mapped
- KDE: Currently to my understanding
(https://github.com/ErikReider/SwayNotificationCenter/pull/716#issuecomment-4090384913),
KDE will always steal the users input focus when a surface switches or gets
mapped with ON_DEMAND. But this isn't the case for the built-in plasma
notifications right?
So the solution that I've implemented is to set ON_DEMAND after the surface
gets mapped, but this doesn't work in KDE currently...
I've opened an issue in the wlr-protocols repository
(https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wlroots/wlr-protocols/-/issues/141) requesting
to adjust the protocol documentation, clarifying how input "stealing" should
behave as it's a bit unclear.
Here are a few relevant links:
