Subject: [9fans] rio bottom wctl cmd ...
Date: Wed, 8 Mar 2006 14:43:03 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <440EDF67.7010500@free.fr> (raw)
Hello,
While adding a 'bottom' entry to the rio menu3 (in order to move
the clicked window to the *bottom*), I realized something already
well documented :
rio(4):
The top and bottom commands do not change
whether the window is current or not; the others
always make the affected window current.
So if the *current* window is moved to the *bottom*, it means that
window will still be the recipient of keyboard and mouse input ... even
behind other windows (i mean partially or totally hidden).
In that case, we can't *top* another window, say one of those
in front of the *current* *bottom* window, with a button click (Wakeup).
I find that feature ... disconcerting.
I suggest to patch rio in order to raise the right window when clicking,
even if the *bottom*'ed window is still the recipient of inputs. I think
reordeing
the window array (see dat:319) would be sufficient.
Any idea ?
Phil;
