I've always thought the dialogs should be embedded anyway, which doesn't steal focus. What I mean is like gedit does, where at the top of the document a box appears before line 1 and says "This file has been modified". Then, people wouldn't have to press it until they wanted to since it would be associated with the document directly.

Thanks,

Steve

I use the terminal emulator in Geany mainly for Git-commands and Drush.

When pulling the work from collegues using Git, geany pops up a file
changed, or deleted warning for all changed or deleted open files
which steals focus from the terminal, often right before I press
'enter' to execute a commend, resulting in Geany using the default
action for that popup, which I then have to figure out what has
happend.

Is it possible to suppress these popups when the terminal has focus?

The disk status is checked on keypresses (but only once every 30s no matter how fast you type :)

This means that we can tell that the user is interacting with Geany and so stops us popping those dialogs over other apps. But unfortunately the keypress code is independent of any window. It might be possible to check if the VTE is focussed and hold off the file check. It would be a little tricky since the VTE widget may not exist, but with care it could be done.

It just needs "someone" to do it :)
