Window activation for existing windows
acarl005 opened this issue · comments
Description
The WindowBuilder::with_activation_token
method allows the user to create a new window with an activation token on Linux.
However, according to the Wayland xdg-activation protocol, activation is not something that is limited to newly created windows. You can request activation on an existing window. It would be useful if the Window
struct had a method to wrap this functionality, something like:
impl Window {
pub fn activate(&self, token: ActivationToken) {
if let Some(xdg_activation) = &self.xdg_activation {
xdg_activation.activate(token._token, self.surface());
}
}
}
As an example use case, suppose an app was asked to handle a custom URI scheme (deep link) which was clicked in a web browser. In order to make it clear to the user that the app has handled the URI, it might want to request activation.
