## Focus window on activation
You may want to focus an application window after vicinae triggers an action related to it.

*For example : using a shortcut action in vicinae that opens a browser tab → Instantly focus the window where the action happened*

You can have this behavior by adding this to your config:

```ini
# ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf

misc {
focus_on_activate = true
}
```

A [patch](https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri/pull/1634) is available, but it remains buggy and doesn't seem to work with layer surfaces.
