build prompt moves focus from editor window

[IkerAriz]

Hello all,

The "prompt" directive is a very convenient feature that I use to supply input to my project's build script. Eg:

Code: [Select]

./build-script.sh -o- %(prompt prompt-text:%(last-prompt-result))

However, every time I run the build (ie, Ctrl-M) the window focus moves away from the editor window. As a result, hitting "Ctrl-Shift-Down" to jump to the next error doesn't work. One can click on the editor window (or hit escape) but it would be nice if focus were restored to where it was when I ran the build.

Regards,
Iker

Hello all,

Any news on this issue?

Thanks,

Interesting. This issue only occurs on Unix (not Windows or Mac). I've added a hotfix for this which will go into the hotfix next build. If there are multiple prompts, this hotfix won't work.

Thanks Clark.

In the same area... if I hit escape/cancel at the prompt the build continues as if "%(prompt)" had expanded to empty. Can this behavior be changed so that the build itself is canceled?

Tested both fixes and they work. Ie, focus returns to editor tab after build prompt closes and canceling the build prompt cancels the build.

Thanks!

Glad they work for you!
