I like to work with sublime in fullscreen mode. The problem I have is that whenever I cmd-tab to switch between applications and then return to sublime I always have to mouse-click to put the focus on the sublime window before I can begin to type. This never happens in windowed-mode. I should also say that I use sublime 3 on Yosemite. All help is appreciated!

This happens to me all the time on the Ubuntu (14.10) version of build 3065. It doesn’t matter whether it’s full screen or not, when I alt-tab back to Sublime it doesn’t get focus or come to the front.

I found a solution to my problem. It works perfectly if I set the “use_simple_full_screen” to true. This way sublime gets the focus when tabbing.

@sleepyfox: I don’t see this problem in Linux Mint Mate or Cinnamon editions, so I’m guessing the issue you’re seeing in Ubuntu may have something to do with Unity.

Also I don’t see this issue on Windows.

Restarting Sublime fixed it (for now). I’ll see if it reoccurs.
