My xKeyboard-config is version 2.23.1-1 (so it is the most recent
version). This keyboard issue seems pretty common for Nedit users,
which is why Nedit lists it in the "Help->Problems/Defects" option. I
am quoting the text here:
QUOTE
P: Dialogs don't automatically get keyboard focus when they pop up.
S: Most X Window managers allow you to choose between two categories
of keyboard focus models: pointer focus, and explicit focus. Pointer
focus means that as you move the mouse around the screen, the window
under the mouse automatically gets the keyboard focus. NEdit users
who use this focus model should set "Popups Under Pointer" in the
Default Settings sub menu of the preferences menu in NEdit. Users
with the explicit focus model, in some cases, may have problems with
certain dialogs, such as Find and Replace. In MWM this is caused by
the mwm resource startupKeyFocus being set to False (generally a bad
choice for explicit focus users). NCDwm users should use the focus
model "click" instead of "explicit", again, unless you have set it
that way to correct specific problems, this is the appropriate setting
for most explicit focus users.
UNQUOTE
So I followed this advice and tried to set the "Popups under pointer"
option, but it was selected by default. Then why am I facing this
problem? Anyway, I unselect it and restart Nedit, but this does NOT
solve the problem. So I set the "popups under pointer" option AGAIN
and restart Nedit. This time, It works FINE and all dialogs
automatically have keyboard focus when opened. HOWEVER, when I open a
second file in a second tab, the problem resurfaces.
Is this a bug in NEdit?
I don't think it's a bug in nedit, more likely an incompatibility in the
window manager, what window manager are you using?
Try starting Nedit in server mode (use the "nc" command instead of
"nedit," then try opening a file in a new tab, does that solve the
problem?
