I got a suggestion to write a function for this WM to stop the Terminal to appear when our Lock Screen is active, but here no one is familiar enough with this WM to write such a function. And I guess a different route is just not possible. And I would also guess that even if I put the "stay on top" flag, pressing the ALT+TAB will definitely switch the focus. Am I correct? Thank you. > > On Mon, May 7, 2018 at 12:01 PM, Igor Korot <ikorot01@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> >> Hi, ALL, >> Is it possible to catch the ALT+TAB when one particular window is >> displayed and do nothing, i.e. not switch to a different window? >> >> We have a program which displays a full sized window without the >> title.
