no focus on Cursor window when clicking on logs or opening the file

[Elegarret]

VS and other IDE's window usually get focus when user clicks the messages in the console and the editor focuses on the given line. Cursor makes focus on the line but the windows itself doesn't gain the focus, so when I click the logs I stay in the Unity window.
To reproduce just click on any log, warning or error which references to line of code in unity console

I've experienced this before, but it hasn't happened recently so I thought it was fixed with a patch in cursor.

Can you tell me the unity version and the cursor version so I can reproduce it?

my version is
Windows 11 23H2
Unity 2021.3.33f1
Cursor 0.42.4

Thanks for feedback

The issue will be maintained as the cause has not been completely resolved.

Also having this issue. Double clicking opens the file and makes the cursor icon flash, but doesn't focus the window.

Cursor Editor 2.0.23
Cursor 0.42.5
Unity 6000.0.4f1
Windows 11

Same issue, is there any workaround in the meantime?
Edit: If I minimize Cursor window, and then double click on script, it will bring Cursor to focus. If Cursor window is not minimized, double clicking script will make Cursor icon flash orange in taskbar and not focus the window.

Windows 11 23H2
Unity 6 (6000.0.33f1)
Cursor Version: 0.44.11

I've created a simple AutoHotKey script that fixes this issue. Feel free to create a PR if you have any improvements.

Hi, thanks for keeping this package alive — it has been a genuine time-saver!
I can confirm the focus-loss problem still happens on macOS even with the latest Cursor release.

Environment

	Version
macOS	Sequoia (Apple Silicon)
Unity	2022.3.23f1

Steps to reproduce

1. Open any Unity project with the above setup.
2. In the Unity Console, click a log/warning/error that links to a source line.
3. VS Code opens the file and the correct line but the Cursor window never gains focus; Unity remains the active app.

Expected behaviour

The Cursor (VS Code) window should receive focus automatically — the same way it now works on Windows after the recent patch.

I noticed the Windows fix mentioned earlier in this thread (Windows 11 23H2, Unity 2021.3.33f1, Cursor 0.42.4). Could we get the same treatment for macOS? oai_citation:0‡GitHub

If there’s anything I can test or logs I can provide to help, just let me know.
Thanks again for your work!
