i'm assuming you are using apl in an xterm
depending on your 'desperation' or if there isn't a real other fix :) a workaround might be using wmctrl to focus the window using apl to execute wmctrl after your ⎕plot line - i have various fluxbox hot keys (in the ~/.fluxbox/keys file) to focus an irssi window or mplayer window and see no reason it can't focus the apl xterm - but you have to give the xterm a title you can identify with wmctrl -l either as fluxbox hot key or in apl code wmctrl -l parse out for window want - for example 0x02c0000d wmctrl -i -a 0x02c0000d i don't use gnome but i recall there is a gconf-editor that might have some pref i don't think xdotool can do what wmctrl can do here On Mon, 8 Apr 2019 13:12:44 -0300 Hudson Flavio Meneses Lacerda <hud...@hudsonlacerda.com> wrote: > Hi. > > The ⎕plot window, just after being drawn, jumps to the background > (minimized).
