First of all, I absolutely want this behaviour. Bringing windows up in
the background is one of the biggest usability problems of git on Mac.
However, I don't think that synthesizing the keystrokes for
Command-Shift-Tab is a good solution. It would be better to explicitly
bring our process to the front. One way to achieve this would be:
if {[tk windowingsystem] eq "aqua"} {
exec osascript -e [format {
tell application "System Events"
set frontmost of processes whose unix id is %d to true
end tell
} [pid] ]
}
(Not sure about the formatting, I don't speak Tcl...)
Also, we need the same thing in git gui as well.
Best,
Stefan
