How to change focus in X-window by terminal

crabsody · 12-14-2011, 04:11 AM

I got the window id by using xwininfo command. I want to change the focus of this window by a terminal command. How can I do it?

P.S: Please with standard linux commands. I can't use tools as xdotool.

You can use this:

Code:

wmctrl -Ri id_here

With -R option it will move window to current desktop and with -a, switch to desktop where window lies.

P.S. There is no "standard" linux commands to control X, as whole X is "non standard".
