Looking at the code, and with my testing, it looks to me like it would
only attempt to make the window visible if it was off screen.
I suggest you create a function that focuses and raises the window and
bind that to the key instead, if thats what you want. This is
untested:
AddToFunc FocusRaise
+ I Focus
+ I Raise
Key Left A 4 Direction West FocusRaise
I'm not familiar with the direction seeking stuff, so perhaps someone
else can answer that question. It would seem to me that picking the
exact window to go to using a direction is only going to be reliable
in controlled circumstances, like:
+---+---+
| | |
+---+---+
| | |
+---+---+
There are lots of other ways to pick the next window to use.
