I've tried to visualize it. If I have 2 tabs. "tab2" is splith layout and has 2 terminals. If I close the window "terminal_2" (doesn't matter how: either exit, control+d, or kill the window) the focus jumps to "tab1". Usually if I close "terminal_2" I want to continue working in "terminal_1" and not first loose the focus to "tab1". Do I missunderstand the idea behind that or is this behaviour at least configurable? ----------------------------------------- | tab1 | tab2 | | | - - - - - - - - - | | | another container | ----------------------------------------- | #> | | | #> terminal_1 | #> terminal_2 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ----------------------------------------- </pre>Fri, 12 Oct 2012 10:02:18 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/630/strange-focus-behaviour/https://faq.i3wm.org/question/630/strange-focus-behaviour/?answer=648#post-id-648When closing a window, focus should be restored to where it was last. In case this does not happen, please file a ticket at http://bugs-beta.i3wm.org/Tue, 16 Oct 2012 15:02:38 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/630/strange-focus-behaviour/?answer=648#post-id-648https://faq.i3wm.org/question/630/strange-focus-behaviour/?comment=657#comment-657I use workspace_layout tabbed as default. If I then create "another container" and split it in various terms and then close one of these terms I loose the focus to one of the tabs. It does not happen always but it feels to me a little unpredictible. Maybe everything works like it was thought to do.Wed, 17 Oct 2012 16:16:48 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/630/strange-focus-behaviour/?comment=657#comment-657
