https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=442265 --- Comment #9 from Nicolas Fella --- (In reply to Nick Shaforostoff from comment #7) > why double clicking a text file in dolphin raises already running Kate > instance correctly? Why can't Konsole do the same? Because Dolphin knows that a file/window is being opened so it can request an activation token from the compositor. Konsole doesn't know that running "kate bla.txt" opens a file but "ls bla.txt" doesn't. Konsole only hosts bash or whatever shell you are using, it doesn't know what's happening inside that -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Definitely get what you mean about fastest and laziest solution that will come back to haunt us, but I feel like it's the only general purpose way to do this short of re-engineering the entirely world around us. If we don't do this, we will still be tracking down bugs forever--just different ones, in each individual app--but the user experience will suffer in the meantime. Asking people to use an alias or kstart is probably not going to work as it requires that people 1) know this 2) remember to do it and 3) type more characters/do more work. In practice they won't. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=442265 --- Comment #3 from David Edmundson --- We have a few options here, all with different downsides. We could *somehow* have konsole put an XDG_ACTIVATION token into the current bash whenever konsole gets focus. I don't know if this is feasible, we're already forked from konsole at this point. We could have it so calling request_activate with an invalid token still activates the window when "Focus stealing prevention" is set to None/Low. Fastest and laziest solution that works well shortterm, but will definitely come back to haunt us when inevitability no-one fixes anything. We could have kstart5 or equivalent import the window activation protocol, then it can create a token. It means people using an alias, but that's probably fine. We could do something konsole specific https://invent.kde.org/utilities/konsole/-/commit/29440f0c2453552a050815b80a3fac3129fdf254 and requires all people to either use an alias or work it into a kstart5 equivalent. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
