Huh I'm also on i3 but I never run into this problem. If any program would start stealing focus I'd just uninstall it and yell at the author/vendor.

- nh2 1y agoTry sleep 2 && zenity --entry --text="Enter text:" and switch to a different workspace where you start typing. The popup of the other program should appear and capture your input. As far as I know, i3 has no prevention for that. (In this example I'm spawning a program delayed to demonstrate that, but the same can happen to e.g. the gpg-agent password prompt popping up when an SSH connection that uses it reconnects, a chat window from an IM program, and so on. I think the idea of Wayland window activation / focus stealing prevention is that you can still have those windows pop up, but without them taking your input.)
