Please don’t tell me to set any dconf settings. I’ve already tried all of them and they do jack shit.

I’m on Debian in 12, which has GNOME 43. I never want Windows to steal focus for any reason. Is there an extension or something that can do this?

    Also incorrect. Wayland apps still steal focus.

        Yes. Should I restart my shell? Disable Xwayland temporarily

      As far as I’m aware, Wayland apps can only “steal” focus by going through the proper channel, the xdg activation protocol.

      Or maybe it’s a bug with Gnome 43?

        That’s still stealing focus. I want it to literally never happen.

        And it doesn’t do it properly for me either. Starting from the command line with a delay (how I test it) still steals focus when I’m focused on a completely different application.
