I am looking for a way to force a Tkinter window into focus on a system level. I know the force focus method should bring one window of my application into focus, but it seems I need to have some part of my application already in focus on a system level to make this work. If for example I am entering text at the command line and call a force_focus on my root window the call will not return till I click on a window in my application. The same goes for any modification to the main window I have tried adding new windows (toplevel), setting focus, generating events, none of these calls returns until I move focus over to my parrent window. Is there any way around this? Basically any way to create a kind of panic dialog that jumps up over what the user is doing at the command line.
