[PATCH] gitk: workaround Tcl/Tk Cmd-TAB behavior on OSX

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



On OSX Tcl/Tk application windows are created behind all
the applications down the stack of windows. This is very
annoying, because once a gitk window appears, it's the
downmost window and switching to it is pain.

The patch is trivial: if we are on OSX, emulate Cmd-Shift-TAB
key event, so that the gitk application window is brought
from bottom to top.
