Start nautilus and bring it to front

  • 772

I am using

nautilus -w --browser /home

for a shortcut command on my system. The thing is that nautilus does not get the focus after it started. Can I extend this command such that the window pops up on top of all other open windows with focus?

nautilus

  1. Not many commands can achieve this without any headache. One of the successful, that I know of, is xdotool and even this is somewhat debatable. So you can extend the shortcut to this line:

    nautilus -w --browser /home & xdotool search --sync --onlyvisible --class nautilus windowactivate
