How to activate/focus a window via its name?

[lanzorg]

I would like to focus on a window before doing some keyboard shortcuts.
Is this possible?

Hi @lanzorg,

focusing / activating windows is not yet possible. However, there’s already an issue in our native lib which adresses this feature: nut-tree/libnut-core#18

@s1hofmann @lanzorg It appears that the issues for libnut have disappeared. Is there any chance that we could resurrect this issue? This would be a very helpful feature and would put the windowing functionality at parity with something like robot-js. Thank you.

Wonderful! Do you have any idea when that might be?

It’ll happen in the next couple of weeks, depending on how much time I manage to spend on it.

Awesome, thank you for all the hard work you do; everyone who uses this library appreciates it greatly!

@s1hofmann Did this end up going out? Thanks so much for looking into this.

@mwarger It’s not yet fully released due to some other topics I followed (https://nutjs.dev/blog/we-have-company) but it will be published with the next release
