Open a stack without "focus"

Post by ale870 » Wed Nov 25, 2009 12:38 pm

Hi,

I think an annoying thing (and sometimes "generator of problems") is when I go to another stack using the form "go stack" or "go stack url" is the new opened stack automatically takes the "control " (get the focus). It means any subsequent command/message/function is related to the new stack and not the current one (the one I'm running into).
I think it could be very useful a parameter in "go" function to open a stack without giving the "focus".

I did not find any way to accomplish this. Is there a valid workaround?

Thank you!

You can always set the defaultStack property back to your ogiginal stack after the go.
