====== Terminal focus ======

On Linux mint 22.3 the terminal does not get focus when opened via taskbar button due to an issue with underlying mutter.

Workaround as described here: https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon/issues/13382

settings -> windows -> behaviour -> window focus mode = sloppy

<code bash>sudo vi /usr/share/cinnamon/js/ui/windowAttentionHandler.js</code>

Search for the initialization block. It looks like this:

<code javascript>
Mainloop.timeout_add_seconds(4, () => {
    log("Enabling WindowAttentionHandler");
    global.display.connect('window-demands-attention', Lang.bind(this, this._onWindowDemandsAttention));
    global.display.connect('window-marked-urgent', Lang.bind(this, this._onWindowDemandsAttention));

    return GLib.SOURCE_REMOVE;
})
</code>
Add this line inside that block:
<code javascript>
global.display.connect('window-created', Lang.bind(this, this._onWindowDemandsAttention));
</code>
The result should look like this:
<code javascript>
Mainloop.timeout_add_seconds(4, () => {
    log("Enabling WindowAttentionHandler");
    global.display.connect('window-demands-attention', Lang.bind(this, this._onWindowDemandsAttention));
    global.display.connect('window-marked-urgent', Lang.bind(this, this._onWindowDemandsAttention));
    // START FIX
    global.display.connect('window-created', Lang.bind(this, this._onWindowDemandsAttention));
    // END FIX

    return GLib.SOURCE_REMOVE;
})
</code>
Save and Exit

Then add to whitelist:
Check settings:
<code>settings get org.cinnamon demands-attention-passthru-wm-classes</code>
<code>['gnome-screenshot', 'lxterminal', 'xfce4-terminal', 'firefox', 'libreoffice', 'soffice']</code>
Then add gnome terminal or other to the list. Check with xprop if unsure what the wm classes would be:
<code>gsettings set org.cinnamon demands-attention-passthru-wm-classes "['gnome-screenshot', 'lxterminal', 'xfce4-terminal', 'firefox', 'libreoffice', 'soffice', 'gnome-terminal-server', 'Gnome-terminal']"
</code>
May need cinnamon restart.
