When changing focus to Chrome window A, focus is immediately redirected to Chrome window B

[samuela]

Describe the bug
When changing focus to a Google Chrome window, either via workspace or focus-monitor, I am finding that Chrome (or something else) then immediately redirects focus to a different Chrome window. I can more clearly see this focus change thanks to on-focus-changed = ['move-mouse window-lazy-center'].

I will attempt to reproduce on my personal machine and post a video. I am on a multi-monitor setup with macOS Sequoia 15.1 and AeroSpace v0.15.2-Beta b6cf827.

I think you'd need to set Displays have separate Spaces under system settings → Desktop & Dock to off.

To get this working with the prior setting set to on, I think one needs to use additional private APIs: https://github.com/lwouis/alt-tab-macos/blob/7100d251ec25a1eaae9a05b8bd609050bb727fa1/src/logic/Window.swift#L202.

Interesting, I'll give this a shot

Not sure I follow... what's the reasoning here?

On the second point on private API, I think the app alt-tab uses additional private APIs to switch to a window on another monitor, of an application which has the most recently-used window on the current monitor. The current implementation that uses only one private API cannot achieve that, I guess. It is a macOS quirk. Hope it explains.

Thanks!
