Hi,

I'm currently trying to switch the focused window by sending a COMMAND to the ipc interface:

[con_id="135748312"] focus

The COMMAND returns [{"success":true}], but does not switch the window.

I've tried the same with i3-msg, and this is also not switching:

i3-msg '[con_id="135748312"] focus'

Any ideas on that?

You're sure you got the right id? (How did you get the id?) Picking a random id from i3-msg -t get_tree | json | grep '"id"', then doing the i3-msg "[con_id=...] focus thing works for me.

This was the issue. I used the value of window, not id. Thanks!

You can then use `i3-msg "[id=...] focus"`
