This (Windows employing different methods to prevent users from writing programs that programmatically change application focus) has been an ongoing struggle for me for the better part of 3 years.

I finally made what feels like some significant progress this past week.

If you've ever obsessively gone deep down into a hole trying to understand and wrangle weird OS-level behaviors before, you might enjoy this video and feel a vicarious sense of victory :)

Ah, can't say I expected to come across the person behind komorebi today! Really appreciate your work, such a cool project you wouldn't expect on Windows of all places.

Anyway, sounds like an interesting watch, thanks for sharing!

Thanks! Turns out I have a lot more time on my hands to be found around the internet since I got laid off last month 😅
