STM32CubeIDE stealing focus

JMath.2 · ‎2021-11-30

Is there a way to disable STMCube IDE from constantly stealing focus? I'd rather get to it when I'm done with another window than be interrupted Clippy style ;)

In CubeIDE - try exactly the same place ;)

I Agree, this is a very annoying default behavior in Eclipse. We have tried to disable it in the past, but there were no simple "preferences" to modify the default without patching (if my memory serves me well).

This setting is one of the first settings I change when starting a new workspace in CubeIDE.

You can change this from the prefernces page in your link above, or toggle this on/off with these buttons directly in console:

In what situations does it grab focus?

Behavior inherited from Eclipse is unlikely to change.

I agree it's a pain, but Eclipse is just being Eclipse!

The debugger. Eclipse does have something similar and it can be disabled. Not sure where this is in Cube?
