Win32 Window Focus Prevention Deep Dive | Rust Programming🦀 | Komorebi | Windows 11 Tiling WM

This (Windows employing different methods to prevent users from writing programs that programmatically change application focus) has been an ongoing struggle for me for the better part of 3 years.

I finally made what feels like some significant progress this past week.

If you've ever obsessively gone deep down into a hole trying to understand and wrangle weird OS-level behaviors before, you might enjoy this video and feel a vicarious sense of victory :)

Ah, can't say I expected to come across the person behind komorebi today! Really appreciate your work, such a cool project you wouldn't expect on Windows of all places.

Anyway, sounds like an interesting watch, thanks for sharing!

Thanks! Turns out I have a lot more time on my hands to be found around the internet since I got laid off last month 😅

Well, here's hoping you land on your feet!
