Hey everybody, first post on this list for me - nice to e-meet you all! :)
Marcus, thanks again for having provided this workaround for preserving
Script Editor focus. However I just noticed that this does not seem to work
anymore in Maya 2017 (on Windows, that is...)
I just had a quick look and the following change/addition seems to work for
me both in 2017 and in older versions (the change is in line 15):
# (...)
try:
script_editor = next(w for w in
QtGui.qApp.topLevelWidgets() if w.objectName() ==
"scriptEditorPanel1Window" or w.accessibleName() == "Script Editor")
script_editor.activateWindow()
return True
Marcus, I also commented on your Gist on GitHub, but I somehow failed at
issuing a pull request for my change to you. Is that even possible for
Gists?
Anyway, here's my forked and updated Gist
<https://gist.github.com/martin-chatterjee/7759bdc0a877424542afc7bc1db06b07> -
hope this is helpful to somebody besides me.
Cheers, Martin
