Hyper: focus lost on tab switch

Using hyper 1.0.0 on macOS 10.2.2.

After switching to hyper 1 I've noticed that after switching tabs (shift cmd left/right) the active tab sometimes either looses focus or never gets it. It happens a few times a day and I obviously can't rule out that I accidentally hit the touchpad, but it happens much more frequently than in previous versions (if at all).

For me, the terminal always loses focus when switching tabs with Cmd+Alt+Left/Right.

I hadn't come across Cmd+Shift+Left/Right before, but that shortcut seems to only work for me if the tab bar is already focused, not if the terminal is focused.

[caesar]

Huh, just restarted Hyper and both shortcuts work consistently now… so I guess we could say this is an intermittent problem!

[sobrinho]

I'm experiencing this problem almost all the times, restarting the application doesn't fix.

[lunks]

It's fairly reproducible here. If I open a new tab and go back to the previous one while it's still loading my shell, it'll lose focus.

[randomor]

Same issue, first time installer on node 7.3. Lost focus as soon as a new tab is created.

[emiljohansson]

It seems to set the focus to the body element. If you press the tab key twice or click on it, it restores the focus to the window/iframe.

Same issue:

• Open a new tab
• Navigate left or right
• Focus Lost
• Press tab key twice and focus is back
• Navigate left or right is ok now

[jancborchardt]

This is 100% reproducible for me when opening a _new_ tab with Ctrl-T:

1. Have a tab open
2. Open another one via Ctrl-T
3. Go back to the initial tab

The cursor blinks once but typing doesn’t work. You need to click into the content area to make the command line focused again and be able to start typing.

Just fixed this – I'd like to receive a confirmation from everyone of you just in case. Please test the latest master :v:

[chabou]

It is really fixed ! You rock ! ❤️
Not an obvious solution ! Well done !

[jancborchardt]

Thanks a lot @matheuss for fixing this papercut! :ok_hand: :relaxed:

[jbergstroem]

Can confirm it being fixed.

[SeanBlader]

:-( I just noticed this happening on Windows for Hyper version 1.3.2 if I click to a different tab. I have to click in the console area before the cursor is active and the console accepts input.

[wesbos]

I'm getting this with 1.3.3 too

[chabou]

@wesbos Are you on Windows? I can't reproduce it on MacOS

[karlhorky]

I'm getting this problem intermittently on 1.3.3 on macOS Sierra too. I have the following plugins:

{
  // ...

  plugins: [
    'hyper-no-close',
    'hypercwd',
    'hyperlinks',
    'hyperterm-atom-dark',
  ],
}

[wesbos]

I'm on OSX

[chabou]

@wesbos and @karlhorky: You can reproduce it without any plugin ?

[wesbos]

I think it's the Hyperlinks plugin - I only had two plugins and disabling hyperlinks fixes it.

[niedzielski]

I'm also experiencing this issue intermittently on Hyper v1.3.3 on Ubuntu GNOME v17.04. This is only an issue when changing tabs (ctrl-tab) but not when opening a new tab. If I enter a character, I can see the input go to another tab. e.g., if I have tabs A and B and switch from A to B then type ls<enter>, tab B is unchanged and does not have a cursor while tab A has a directory listing. The only plugin I have enabled is hyper-one-light.

[karlhorky]

Yeah, I'm not sure this has to do with a plugin. I can reproduce it with all plugins disabled.

It happens like @niedzielski describes - intermittently and when changing tabs via keyboard shortcuts (for me, with cmd-alt-⬅️ or cmd-alt-➡️).

Probably unrelated, but I can also cause focus to be lost by reloading a tab with cmd-R.
