Idea: Inactivity timeout for focus stealing prevention

[eepysillycat]

Hi! I think it would be nice to implement some means of focus stealing prevention. It's generally annoying e.g. typing in a window while some app loads in the background and then its window pops up and now you're typing there instead

Soo.. Something like an option to set a timeout of inactivity after that new windows of other apps can steal focus ig?

Also i'm not entirely sure how it actually should work. I thought about some use cases like launching something from terminal or triggering an action with a keyboard that will open something that actually should get focus

I would look at this window rule if you haven't already: https://niri-wm.github.io/niri/Configuration%3A-Window-Rules.html#open-focused

I know about that window rule but it's unconditional so doesn't really solves the problem
