Hi Eric, glad you liked it.
Thanks for posting your progress! With that in mind, I gave it another go
and came up with this.
from PySide import QtCore, QtGui
class RestoreScriptEditorFocus(QtCore.QObject):
def __init__(self):
super(RestoreScriptEditorFocus, self).__init__()
QtGui.qApp.focusChanged.connect(self.on_focuschanged)
self.restore = False
def on_focuschanged(self, old, new):
self.restore = "cmdScrollFieldExecuter" in old.objectName() if
old else False
def eventFilter(self, obj, event):
if event.type() == QtCore.QEvent.ApplicationActivate and self.restore:
script_editor = next(w for w in
QtGui.qApp.topLevelWidgets() if w.objectName() ==
"scriptEditorPanel1Window")
script_editor.activateWindow()
return True
else:
return super(RestoreScriptEditorFocus, self).eventFilter(obj, event)
f = RestoreScriptEditorFocus()
QtGui.qApp.installEventFilter(f)
In a nutshell, it listens for any change of focus, and records whether or
not the change was from the input field of the script editor, apparently
called something like “cmdScrollFieldExecuter”. Not sure how consistent
this is across versions of Maya.
