Re: [Bug-apl] ⎕plot focus

[enztec]

i'm assuming you are using apl in an xterm

depending on your 'desperation' or if there isn't a real other fix :)

a workaround might be using wmctrl to focus the window using apl to execute 
wmctrl after your ⎕plot line - i have various fluxbox hot keys (in the 
~/.fluxbox/keys file) to focus an irssi window or mplayer window and see no 
reason it can't focus the apl xterm - but you have to give the xterm a title 
you can identify with   wmctrl -l    either as fluxbox hot key   or   in apl 
code

wmctrl -l
parse out for window want  - for example   0x02c0000d
wmctrl -i -a  0x02c0000d

i don't use gnome but i recall there is a gconf-editor that might have some pref
i don't think xdotool can do what wmctrl can do here
