`vimtex.viewer.xdo_focus_vim` not working in WSL2

[kkanden]

Description

i am running WSL2 with tmux and I tried setting up autofocus of the terminal window after invoking a reverse search with sioyek as in #2971, however this doesn't work. the reverse search itself works. the sioyek app is installed in windows and gets invoked from within WSL.

i do realize that WSL often adds a lot of layers of complexity to issues as this but i'm wondering if there's a simple solution to this?

Steps to reproduce

NA

Expected behavior

the terminal window should be focused on reverse search.

Actual behavior

the terminal is not being focused on reverse search.

Do you use a latexmkrc file?

yes

I'm sorry, but I really don't think you will be able to make this work on Windows with WSL2. At least I sure don't know how; sorry!
