Blacklist Apps

[jeroenev]

For 99% of the apps I want to allow them to steal my focus, and always pop-up, but for some apps I want to get a pop-up message instead.

most importantly for Microsoft Teams, their notification system bypasses dbus, and thus steals focus whenever a notification pops up.
Which means every 15 minutes my typing stops responding because I got a notification for a message that stole my focus.

Thanks for taking time to report this!
I knew that this request would come at some point. I will try to have a look into it when time permits.

Same thing happens with Signal and Slack.

Any updates on this? Similar behavior for Telegram Desktop and Teams on a daily basis 😢

[haxoc]

On Signal there is an option in the settings, which solves the issue.

One more request for this. Native Microsoft Teams is not usable with your extension :(

This happens to me as well, but with Telegram.

It was really irritating for me so I tried to implemented this by myself ;) Pull request linked above.

It would be nice if someone else could test this

I just tested it with Telegram and Teams and both work!!! <3

Thanks @Syzygianinfern0 for checking. If we could make a list of wm_classes that should be blacklisted (I already heard about slack, skype, telegram, and teams) I think we can include them all in a finished version ;)

I do use Slack on a daily basis and it does not pose this problem. For me, it is just Telegram (TelegramDesktop) and Teams (Microsoft Teams - Preview). I do not use Skype, nor do I know anyone else who does, so I cannot test it 😅. Just these two are the problem.

Any updates on this issue? I would really like the ability to blacklist Telegram Desktop.
