How do I get focus back to the previous window after hiding the quick access terminal #8840

It goes back to the previous window automatically, if not, then it will
be because you turned on secure text input or your previous window no
longer exists or is a special window etc in which case use OS window
switching features.

Thank for your suggestions : ) Actually I never set up secure text input on my Mac. I tested this issue in both Safari and Kitty (fullscreen), and neither of them can regain focus. also if I press ctrl+d to exit the quick access terminal process, it will works fine, but pressing the shortcut to hide it does not work. is this all normal? |

Works on my mac. Steps I tried:
1) Open a normal kitty window
2) Press the quick access terminal shortcut
3) quick access window opens
4) Press shortcut again
5) quick access closes
6) focus is on the window opened in (1) as expected.
See #8627 for details. It may be that macOS has since been updated to
prevent applications from handing off focus to unrelated applications.
See the commit that closed that issue for how kitty does it. Run the
quick-access-terminal with --debug-rendering and you will get debug
output that will tell you if the OS is correctly telling kitty what the
previously active window is or not.
