I am trying to assign specific applications to open only in
specific groups. Reading the documentation, I came across "Group Matches".
I defined it in my config.py as stated below. For the most part it is
working well. The application defined in the example below do open only in
their assigned group. The only issue that I am trying to overcome is that
"focus" does not automatically shift to the targeted group when I launch an
application that is defined in the Match list below. For example, if I am
in group 1 and launch Termite, which is assigned group 3. Termite WILL
open in group 3, however, I have to switch the group manually from 1 to 3
to start using Termite. The odd thing is that this is not happening to
Sublime Text. If I am in any group, other than group 2 (defined for
Sublime), two things will happen: 1) Sublime Text will open in group 2,
AND, the focus is shifted to group 2 (which is the desired behavior). I
have played around with "focus_on_window_activation" but it did not make a
difference (value of "focus" seems to be the best settings).
Any suggestion? Is this a possible bug?
group_matches = [
