Is there a "Focus follows window when moved to another workspace" option or workaround?

[itouchdennis]

basically the title,
Tried some workarounds like

"Alt + Shift + 1" = { exec = "rift-cli execute workspace move-window 0 && rift-cli execute workspace switch 0" }

but it seems like 2 commands in one exec aren't working that way, sure I could now start to make scripts and bind them into, this might work, but a native solution would be nice

You could use a shell script for this... maybe something like:

#!/bin/sh
rift-cli execute workspace move-window $1
rift-cli execute workspace switch $1

(don't forget to chmod it
then in Your config:

"Alt + Shift + 1" = { exec "./path_to_shellscript 1" }
"Alt + Shift + 2" = { exec "./path_to_shellscript 2" }

Tried it, its kinda weird, if its the only window on the desk, its working with the follow mode, if there are multiple, then its not. Might debugg it later more, just for a quick test.

Okay, it seems like there needs to be a quick sleep in between these 2 commands. This is working as a workaround I can life with:

 #!/bin/sh
/opt/homebrew/bin/rift-cli execute workspace move-window $1 && sleep 0.1 && /opt/homebrew/bin/rift-cli execute workspace switch $1

/opt/homebrew/bin/rift-cli execute workspace move-window $1 && sleep 0.1 && /opt/homebrew/bin/rift-cli execute workspace switch $1

is the sleep required on 0.3.0?

[itouchdennis]

No, the sleep is not needed on 0.3.0!

[itouchdennis]

Its working better and more consistent with the sleep 0.1 without or faster sleep its a bit bugged sometimes

Maybe it is more of a feature request, but can't the possibility of running multiple chained commands do this? 🤔
