From 5e41e6600beb7e80b5c621021e0b61a2a1dc0ac0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Simon Ser Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2020 18:17:15 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Change focus_on_window_activation default to urgent Before the default was "smart". This means a visible app could steal focus whenever it wanted to. This can be an issue since having focus allows for e.g. clipboard access. This commit changes the default to "urgent" instead.
