> Why do you presume to tell me how I perform a task?

Why do you keep presuming you can make up your own example when arguing about a different one??? The original premise "depends entirely on what you're switching from and to and for what reason", so of course if you change your conditions you'll have different outcome re. focus stealing!

> You have been arguing that it should

No, you've been missing the point this whole time.

> I don't know where this came from, but it's not in my comments

It is, I suggested you imagine the case where you'd like the change of focus to happen in response to some conditions you find favorable, yet several times you faield to address it as is and kept bringing up different conditiosn.

> I think your emotional response to this discussion has you conflating commenters.

I think if you're that bad at reading literal text you shouldn't attempt at trying to read emotional state of that author.

> If you want to advocate for configuration to allow focus stealing that's fine

So why do you keep arguing that it's not fine because you can't imagine a situation where it is?

> But you've been arguing as if it's silly that anyone would want it any other way than you.

Nope, that's you misreading again. I have no issue with people who want a dumbed down "never steal" config.

Maybe the silly part here is people ostensibly supporting computers respecting user choices arguing against being able to better configure your computer to respect user choices.
