Add option to focus on drag drop

[BenjaminSchaaf]

Problem description

Some applications like wordpad, notepad++ and chrome take focus when a file is dropped, others like ST, notepad and firefox don't.

Preferred solution

Add an option to focus on drag drop.

The window is now focused by default in build 4095.

You will have to have a good look at the Human Interface Guidelines for this to begin with. I /think/ that if dropping an object on an application does not switch focus automatically you should not steal focus. I can imagine that you should not for the simple fact that a user is not finished dragging items into the application. In that case focus stealing would not be a good solution.

Did the OP try to hover the object over the application to see what happens if he keeps hovering for some time?

Any estimate on when that build will be released? It's been well over a year since the last dev release...

Beta builds for ST4 are available on our discord server.

Was this change reverted? I'm on 4110 and the Sublime window doesn't take focus when a file is dropped. I seem to remember that it worked a while back.

[BenjaminSchaaf]

Seems to be a regression since 4107.

[PeterFeicht]

Small correction: it works sometimes. I haven't figured out a pattern yet when it does and when it doesn't work.

Fixed in build 4114.
