Prevent app from being focused when switching space

Open oddnugget opened this issue 8 months ago • 2 comments

Greetings, ever since upgrading to MacOs Sonoma i have a strange issue. When i am screensharing in tuple and i do a yabai -m space --focus <space-id>, the tuple app popup in the menu bar opens up and takes focus as the frontmost application.

I have a rule already set up to not manage tuple: yabai -m rule --add app="^Tuple$" manage=off

And querying for windows in the space does not return a tuple window. Most probably because it is not a window but a popover or whatever they are called.

I'm unsure if this is an issue on yabai side or on tuple itself, but i have confirmed that the issue is not present when yabai is not running (switching spaces natively with mission control).

Is there a way to prevent the app from being focused when switching spaces?
