With the setting "Focus without raising window" enabled, it's not possible in Chrome to get into the settings or any adjustment through the 3-dot menu on the top right. When clicking it, the dropdown menu appears, then when hovering over it disappears after the 0.05s timer runs out. Meaning, in order to get into settings, you have to click it within 0.05s. Same thing with the bookmarks if they're in a folder.

Maybe there is a way to disable AutoFocus within an application window?
Or even better, a shortcut to temporarily disable AutoFocus?

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Many users on Linux (and Windows) prefer FFM without the focused window being raised.

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be great if AutoRaise supported this.

Describe alternatives you've considered
No other macOS tools that I'm aware of support FFM without raise, so this may be a limitation of the OS.

Additional context

After initial install and when you run the app for the first time, you cannot access the app preferences via the menu bar link nor via the keyboard shortcut. While that wouldn't be a huge deal, AutoRaise is not enabled by default upon initial installation so the app does not function at all. You must quit the app after enabling Accessibility access and then you can reach Preferences to turn on and configure the app

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Unpack .dmg file
2. Drag AutoRaise.app to /Applications (or whatever your destination folder is)
3. Open AutoRaise.app
4. Enable Accessibility access via System Preferences
5. Click on menubar icon
6. Click on Preferences link (or try using the keyboard shortcut ⌘ + ,)

Expected behavior
The preferences link (and keyboard shortcut) should be immediately clickable to enable and configure the settings.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: macOS 12.5
• CPU: M1 Max
• Version v0.6.2b

Additional context
If it's not just a bug in general, I'd recommend creating a popup notifying the user that a restart of the app is required after enabling Accessibility access to be able to use it. You can then give them the choice to restart the app now or cancel to restart later. I've seen many apps go this route upon installation and first run.

Describe the bug
When trying to use the emoji picker with the cursor/pointer, the picker will close as focus goes back to the main window.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Use TextEdit or anywhere you can input text in another app
2. Bring up the emoji picker (globe key shortcut on most Mac)
3. Try to pick an emoji using the pointer
4. See error

Expected behavior
You should be able to pick an emoji with the pointer

Desktop:

• OS: macOS Ventura 13.4

• CPU: Apple M1 Pro

• MacBook Pro 16-inch, 2021

• AutoFocus 0.6.6 (1)

Describe the bug
Microsoft Office applications (Word, Excel) are not reliably autoraised.

Autoraise seems to reliably raise iTerm2 windows and my various other apps.

Raising Word or Excel windows seems intermittent. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not.

Autoraise 0.6.2b
M1 Max Mac Studio, OSX 12.4.

I have another box running OSX 12.5 which has the same behaviour.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open Excel
2. Open some other apps
3. Move the mouse over the different apps
4. See other apps reliably raised and given input focus, but Excel only intermittently

Expected behavior
Microsoft Office applications should auto-raise

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Tried 12.4 and 12.5
• CPU: M1 Max, M2
• Version v0.6.2b

Additional context
Add any other context about the problem here.

Hello, I can't get the program to work. Is there a setup guide? Thanks, Ray

Hello. I'm really enjoying AutoFocus beta. Only one issue so far: Default Folder X is an add-in that creates a sidebar-like overlay for Open/Save dialogs to let you easily select recent folders or files. The problem is, with AutoFocus activated, the Default Folder X overlay disappears as soon as you move the cursor over it, so only the original Open/Close dialog remains visible. AutoFocus has to be disabled to allow Default Folder X to function properly.

Describe the solution you'd like
If there's no easy way to prevent AutoFocus from interfering with overlays like this, an acceptable workaround might be to add an option in AutoFocus Preferences that does the opposite of Auto raise window under cursor: "Only allow when one of the following keys is pressed." It could be called: "Disable AutoFocus while one of the following keys is pressed." So, for example, if someone selected this new option, they could hold down the Option key while interacting with the Default Folder X overlay to prevent it from disappearing.

Describe alternatives you've considered
The only other alternative I can think of is if you can figure out a way to prevent AutoFocus from interfering with these kinds of overlays. In my opinion, it would be too annoying to use AutoFocus with "Only allow when one of the following keys is pressed." enabled all the time. That would make me not want to use AutoFocus at all.

Describe the bug
Focus without raising window checkbox causes app to crash when it is set.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to 'Settings'
2. Ensure 'Auto raise window under cursor' is on
3. Check 'Focus without raising window'
4. App will crash
5. Further attempts to restart the app will cause the app to crash

Expected behavior
App should not crash

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Sonoma 14.3
• CPU: M3 Pro
• Version v0.6.8b

Additional context
The help text says the feature will work when there is a 'required framework'. What is that required framework?

Describe the bug
AutoRaise has no effect.

To Reproduce
No special steps. The app just has no effect on my system.
NB: the app is enabled in the Accessibility settings.

Desktop:

• OS: macOS 12.4
• CPU: M1
• Version v0.6.2b

Thank you for this brilliant idea - I'd ℓσνє to test this out, unfortunately on your website there is no "installer" or .dmg for AutoRaise, and the command line method mentioned here on GitHub for it gives me repeated error codes. Could you help out? THANK YOU!

Describe the bug
Autoraise does not function if a system notification is present

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open some application windows
2. Generate a standard OSX system notification (for example, by sending yourself an email using your iphone while you have mail.app open)
3. Attempt to autoraise some windows by mouseing-over them while the notificaiton is present
4. See that windows do not raise
5. Retry once notification has gone and see that windows do raise

Expected behavior
Windows should auto-raise even if a notification is present.

Screenshots
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Hi there. While I can't prevent people from making similar tools like the original AutoRaise, it would have been nice if at least the name was chosen differently. The tool I wrote has been around for over 5 years and is referenced from stackoverflow as well, so it is kind of hard to miss it.

Describe the bug
AUTOFOCUS quits after the first raise event immediately after opening the app. This may be related to a specific settings configuration. This started happening after I upgraded to the latest beta after I received a message saying my current version was out-of-date.

After I upgraded, I wanted to see if any of the functionality had changed: I selected "Invert action" and "Focus without raising window." When I attempted to hover over an unfocused window, the app quit.

I am using the word "quit" to describe what happened, but maybe this could be considered a "crash."

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open AUTOFOCUS Settings.
2. Select settings: "Invert action" and "Focus without raising window."
3. THIS IS THE UNEXPECTED BEHAVIOR: Move the pointer over an unfocused window; AUTOFOCUS should quit.
4. Once AUTOFOCUS has quit, relaunch AUTOFOCUS.
5. OPTIONAL: Open AUTOFOCUS Settings and confirm that the same configuration is set.
6. THIS IS THE UNEXPECTED BEHAVIOR AGAIN: Move the pointer over an unfocused window; AUTOFOCUS should quit.

Expected behavior
I expected AUTOFOCUS to focus to the unfocused window and not quit.

Thank you.

Describe the bug
Was working when i only activated the Raise Window on hover option.
Started crashing when i tryed to activate to only Raise when Command was push.

To Reproduce
I have'nt been able to reproduce it. Because once its started crashing, it started crashing immediatly after deleting the .app and re-installing.

The config are well hidden, but continue to crash after removing those too and re-installing also:
rm -rf /System/Volumes/Data/private/var/folders/r0/p69s7ljs4fgb2c_tzhrv2syh0000gn/C/com.mantel.AutoFocus
rm /System/Volumes/Data/Users/my-user/Library/Preferences/com.mantel.AutoFocus.plist

Expected behavior
Not to crash as it start and mouse hover a windows.

It would be great if Auto-raise could bring an app to the front by simply hovering on its dock icon for a set amount of time.
I think this will be a great feature.

The application crashes immediately upon launch on any Apple Silicon machine with the following segfault. It never starts, launches nor presents with a settings dialog box. This is also the case after a clean reboot.

Bug Description

• Let's assume we have brave windows on two different monitor, it will raise the previously infocus window not the window under the cursor

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open Browser tabs in different windows
2. Put them in different monitor
3. The windows under mouse won't be in focus

Expected behavior
Whichever window is under mouse cursor should be in focus

Desktop (Mac Mini m1):

• OS: Latest Monetery
• CPU: M!
• Latest beta

Older project

• https://github.com/sbmpost/AutoRaise
• i requested if cmd-tab the mouse cursor should jump somewhere in 1/3 of the screen, this could be potential feature

Autoraise seems to reliably raise iTerm2 windows and my various other apps.

Raising Word or Excel windows seems intermittent. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not.

Autoraise 0.6.2b
M1 Max Mac Studio, OSX 12.4.

I have another box running OSX 12.5 which has the same behaviour.

If an application is maximized when you open a new app the new one is automatically pushed in background if you don't "catch it" fast enough

Can you tell me how to turn this on? I installed it (and granted access), but nothing is different. Thanks.

Please take part in the poll I started on Reddit macOS to choose a new name for AutoRaise!

Here's the context:

Stefan Post kindly asked me yesterday to rename AutoRaise to avoid a name clash with his Autoraise.

This auto raise paradigm seems to be a very crowded space as I'm also learning about yet other dedicated software like Amethyst and Yabai.

Stefan's AutoRaise was first brought to my attention a couple of weeks ago through a Reddit comment to my FinderFix announcement. As stated in my introduction, I took the name and inspiration of mine from the discontinued Zooom/2 Auto Raise feature of which I owned a copy. This feature had grown on me, so when the software publisher closed its Web site I decided to write my own clean-room implementation in a modern Swift codebase, extending it with a powerful new workflow dubbed "Extending the Desktop" by one of its first private beta testers.

As with most of my software it started as a small utility that I used for my own needs, often for years, before even considering opening them to other users. I have a dozen more of these applications still waiting to be revealed to a larger public. For more context about my credo, please refer to this discussion I started on HN a few weeks ago.

My current implementation, in its first public release, is a precision work for minute control over window focus, not a holdall bag of features. I'm aware that it still lacks the ability to focus without raising but that's already on my radar (see #6 and #3).

Being in early public beta, I'm perfectly willing to rename it as it still can be done without much inconvenience. I however do not want this renaming to come as a surprise to the many enthusiastic users who downloaded the first public beta release and would like to involve them in finding a new name respecting its vocation. I'd be grateful if you could take a minute to answer this poll and/or write a comment adding the name you find would be more adequate.

This thread and poll will also give other developers the opportunity to claim that name before I get to adopt it.

Thank you very much for your time and loyalty.

Synappser

This bug only concern Ventura with stage manager activated.

Describe the bug
With delay in preferences set to about 0.5 or less after swapping the current windows with a minimized stage manager application, AutoFocus will reswap the two windows sometimes more than once if the cursor moves and stays in the recent stage manager recent app area.

To Reproduce

1. Activate stage manager with recent app option activate in System Preference > desktop and dock.
2. Move two or more windows in the space in different stage manager group.
3. Set AutoFocus "Bring window under cursor to front after:" to 0.5 or lower (the lower the value the more the issue will occur)
4. Try swapping current windows with stage manager minimized windows and move your cursor while remaining in the recent app area of stage manager.

Expected behavior
AutoFocus doesn't raise stage manager minimized window or it is deactivatable.

Video (It also happens in real condition)

Desktop

• OS: macOS 13.1
• CPU: Intel
• Version: v0.6.6b

Additional context
By increasing the delay the problem occurs less often but the autofocus becomes too slow for me.

This problem appears with the other autofocus tools I tested before: Amethyst, AutoRaise (no matter what the compilation arguments are used).
but it is more manageable with AutoFocus because you can increase the delay more precisely and reduces the occurrence of this issue without set very high delay but it still affects the reactivity and the issue still occur just less often.

In Using with Openin.app, AutoFocus sends Openin's choosing menu window back. So i can't choose a app in Openin's window.
Please support application black list.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The main reason I use an Autoraise program is for focus to follow mouse, without windows being raised. I have a homebrew app that has this functionality - but it behaves very poorly with Control Centre. So when I saw your app I decided to give it a shot.
It works perfectly but is sorely missing the option to auto focus without raising.

Describe the solution you'd like
An option to just autofocus, without raise

AutoFocus is not working in 13.3 Beta (22E5246b) even after resetting accessibility settings.

MacBook Air M2, 2022.

Describe the bug
I have "bring all windows in application to front" unchecked, but after some undetermined amount of time it starts to bring all windows to front anyway. The setting is still unchecked, but the behavior is happening. I think it happens after a period of inactivity like if I walk away from my computer for 20 minutes. If I restart AutoFocus that fixes it.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: macOS 14.4.1
• CPU: M1
• Version: 0.6.8 (30) latest
• Laptop monitor and second monitor
