Do you mean it is not updated without moving mouse? Do you mean focus stealing prevention has higher precedence than new window focus setting? And new window focus setting has higher precedence than focus follows mouse policy?

Can you override focus stealing prevention in the keybinding command? Or in its launcher? As I mentioned earlier, I expect e.g. Firefox to raise in start, if I don't work on a window after starting Firefox's launcher, but if I e.g. type in a window after starting the launcher, I want Firefox to neither raise nor get focus automatically.
