Re: [Bug 537943] [NEW] Terminal applet shortkey behaviour

 

Hi,
maybe there is a rule to set in your Window Manager, since the terminal is
supposed to take the focus when it appears. Could you try the shortcut of
the GMenu applet for instance (it pops up an ALT+F2-like command box)

also, could you specify a way to reproduce the 2nd point ?
the terminal has 3 states : hidden, no focus, has focus.
it is supposed to switch like that :
1&2 -> 3
3 -> 1

Bug description:
The cairo dock terminal applet with it's shortkey function would be really a great way to instantly bring up a terminal if those two issues would be addressed:

- When activated via shortkey the terminal does not take input focus. So I still have to click into the terminal window to actually type commands.

- Sometimes, at yet mostly undeterminable situations, the shortkey does not work. This f.e. is the case right after cairo dock was started. Then, when I click the applet icon once, the shortkey works, at least for some time. (Sorry for not being able to narrow it down further)
