@sbmpost How are you changing the window focus? Maybe I should've made it clearer initially, but I'm experiencing this issue while using a non-standard method through ALTERNATIVE_TASK_SWITCHER. Using cmd+`, etc., works fine.

Ah that would explain why I can't reproduce. To implement warp, AutoRaise specifically intercepts the cmd+backtick combination. Any other means of switching between windows of the same app isn't implemented. Out of curiosity: what method are you using to switch between windows of the same app? Are you using other tools for that?

I use yabai with skhd for window management, so I'm using their method for focusing windows. For example, this command focuses the next tiled, visible window in a clockwise fashion when I press left alt + tab: lalt - tab : yabai -m window --focus next || yabai -m window --focus first. This is the same command as I used in the attached video.

I don't know if this is possible, but could something similar be done to ignored apps? Essentially, from the user's perspective, you'd pass in a string of key combinations which would be intercepted alongside cmd+,.

Thanks for sharing :-). I think the used key combination in theory can be made configurable but this would add a considerable amount of code to AutoRaise to make possible. Maybe if restricted to just a single modifier key and a "regular" key, it is do-able.

Another option might be to use a shortcut key library which could also configure how AutoRaise is toggled on/off. This introduces a dependency however.

For the moment you can experiment a bit yourself if you like: Have a look at how cmd-backtick has been implemented in the code, and replace it. For example:

- cmd -> alt
- backtick (grave) -> left or right arrow.

Then recompile according to the instructions of the README.

Thats fair enough about the used key combination, but thank you for pointing out the other options. I had a look at the code where cmd-backtick is implemented and modified it to my needs, so it seems its now working as expected.
