Hello Matthieu,

Thanks for your mail.

There are several ways an application can request the users' attention
(stacking, EWMH urgency hint, ...). Notion users by-and-large seem to prefer
the current less intrusive behavior over actually focussing and/or raising the
window - though there's no real consensus.

We should definitely make it easier to configure which requests for attention 
should have which effect. I *think* when we changed specific parts of this 
behavior we made those parts configurable, but I'm not sure and can't find it 
right now.

For now 'Mod+K K' might be a usable stop-gap for you? 


Kind regards,

Arnout
