Separate window focus for child windows

Post by craigim »

I've got a dual screen setup and have been running TXC 2.0 Alpha 1 (build 1012). I have my TXC window open one one screen and my PDF viewer on the second. In order to maximize my writing space, I've undocked the build/error panel and have it on the same screen as the PDF, since I only need to look at it while compiling. This creates a problem, however, when I want to copy and paste from another app, or I want to read my pdf and compare it to my editor text while debugging, because when TXC has focus, all of its windows have focus.

I would like to request at least an option that each window have its own focus properties. So that I can have another application window open on top of the build window while simultaneously typing in the editor window. When I compile, the build window could then gain focus so I can see how badly I messed up my code.
