HeyPuter
Terminal loses focus when running a background app
This is a general problem, but most obvious in the terminal:
When an app is launched, it gets the keyboard focus. That makes sense for most apps, but for background apps, they're invisible and can't take focus. All it does is remove the focus from the app the user is actually using instead, which is usually the terminal.
I expect this will be quite a simple fix, I'm just in the middle of something else right now.
I'll wait for somebody to pick this up as a first issue, if nobody does I'll fix it
Hey can I work on this issue? Can you assign it to me
Sure thing! Let me know if you need help finding anything - I was pretty close to that code recently and have an idea on my head about how it would be fixed.
@Juhi-Lakdawala did you run into a hurdle when trying to implement this? Let me know if you need help.
@jhan10jr Hi, I just noticed now (GitHub's UI makes it a little difficult to catch everything) - I'll assign you right now, let me know if you're still interested.
Hello @KernelDeimos , can I work on this issue, could you please assign me?
Hi, anyone can take on this issue if they like. If there's duplicate effort, that's not all that bad because the more people who understand this part of the source the better. I'm going to try solving it this using an agentic AI tool because I'm curious if it cal pull it off.
@gautamkapoor1709 Great timing, I tried to get AI to do it yesterday and Claude is rate limiting everyone hard right now so it was a futile attempt. I just pushed the branch for that as fix/terminal-focus-loss, so you might want to check that for a general idea of where to look based on how Claude approached it. I've just assigned you.
is this issue still open? if so i would like to work on it And i will require some more explanation or steps to reproduce issue

Subject: Guidance on Testing Background App
Hi Jelveh,
Thank you for your help so far! Iโd like to know how to test the background app. Could you guide me on how to run it and verify that itโs working?
Iโve already forked and cloned the repository to my local environment. I ran cd puter and executed npm install and npm start to start the server, but Iโm not sure where or how to access the terminal for the background process.
Thanks in advance for your guidance!
Best regards, Changseop
