This looks familiar, I think I started out with something similar and
decided it didn't work. It might just be the "toggle=False" when calling
cmd_toscreen() that causes things to not work as expected for you.
Overall I agree that this should be easier to achieve; maybe setting
focus_on_window_activation to "focus" is indeed bugged, as I would expect
exactly this behaviour after reading the documentation. Might be worth
opening an issue, if there isn't already one.
