There's been a long-standing bug with Chrome where when you open a new window many times it does not automatically focus on that new window. I'm pretty sure it was not designed intentially that way, but even if it was I would like to be able to create a specific setting profile in AWM so that when a new Chrome window opens it is automatically in focus.

Is there a way to do that currently with AWM? If not, is that something that could be done in the near future?

PS there is a Chrome app that claims to fix this issue but I have not had consistent results with it. I figured if I can get this working in AWM that is one less extra program I will need to install on my computer.

Hello Justin,

Thanks for the post.

Are you able to reproduce the problem with Actual Window Manager unloaded?
If not, please send us your configuration files (Actual Window Manager -> Tools -> Configuration -> Send to Tech Support), specify your OS (version, 32 or 64-bit) and versions of Actual Window Manager and Google Chrome.

Best regards.

My apologies for not responding to this. Yes I am able to reproduce it with AWM closed. It is totally a Chrome issue. I was just curious if there was any setting in AWM that I could use to remedy it.

Justin,

Unfortunately, there is no way to get what you need using Actual Window Manager at the moment. We'll consider this as a feature request and inform you if/when it will be implemented in our products.

Best regards.
