Been using QtTabBar from http://qttabbar.wikidot.com/ for some years on Win7 and Win10. I rebuilt my PC to use Win11 (clean install, not an upgrade), and tried that extension, but it's pretty buggy. In all fairness, it is marked as beta, so can't expect too much yet. However, there doesn't seem to have been any activity there for a year or so, and the author didn't reply to an email, so it looks abandoned. The one major problem it has is that it ignores the fact that File Explorer itself now supports...

In case it helps anyone, I found that uninstalling the desktop version of Ditto and using the Win10 app version solved the problem. I had to point the app version at my old database, and set up keyboard shortcuts again, but I'm back in business, and no lost focus.

@humangenom Sorry, only just seen your reply. Thanks for the link, that's a very neat way of doing it. Still stuck on why Ditto is stealing the focus though :(

@sabrogden Hmm, could do, but I'm not sure what I would be looking for. It just seems to grab focus without being called and without actually showing a window. Not like there's a specific place to set a breakpoint - not that I'm sure that wold tell me anything even if I did.

Just to add on, I tried stopping Ditto for a while (very frustrating, I didn't realise how much I relied on it), and I never lost focus once, so it does seem to be Ditto that's taking it. Thanks for any help, I'd really like to keep using Ditto, but this is really annoying.

If you want just the executable, you get get it from http://www.pixata.co.uk/MyBits/WhatHasFocus.zip. If you want the source, start a new console application in Visual Studio and replace the contents of the Program.cs file with the following... using System; using System.Text; using System.Runtime.InteropServices; using System.Timers; namespace WhatHasFocus { class Program { [DllImport("user32.dll")] static extern int GetForegroundWindow(); [DllImport("user32.dll")] static extern int GetWindowText(int...

Hello, I just got a new Windows 10 PC (was on Win7 before), and noticed that every now and then, the current window would lose focus. For example, if I were tying an email, the email window would lose focus, and my text would not be entered into the body. Or I could be scrolling down a list of items in the event viewer, and the window would lose focus, so moving the mouse wheel or clicking the PgUp/PgDown buttons didn't do anything. I'm a software developer, so wrote myself a small utility that runs...
