Changing macOS app launching behavior to remember click order
I frequently run into this issue when launching applications on my computer.
I will double click to launch any application, since there is a delay I start doing something else.
One or two seconds later the application opens and moves focus/attention to the front of the screen.
I can't really describe it well, but basically I would like the OS to remember the order of clicks.
Current behavior is something like:
- click to launch xcode
- click to an already-open messages conversation
- Xcode opens
- Now I'm responding to a text in xcode
Ideal behavior:
- click to launch xcode
- click to an already-open messages conversation
- Xcode opens in background
- I'm still responding to my text
If I don't click on anything, xcode can still open on top.
I get that this is a 'design' change and people are afraid of new default behavior but please give us a setting to toggle this at the very least.
