*FocusGained*
FocusGained When Vim got input focus. Only for the GUI
version and a few console versions where this
can be detected.
*FocusLost*
FocusLost When Vim lost input focus. Only for the GUI
version and a few console versions where this
can be detected. May also happen when a
dialog pops up.
