Function: auto-raise-mode

auto-raise-mode is an interactive and byte-compiled function defined in frame.el.gz.

Signature

(auto-raise-mode &optional ARG)

Documentation

Toggle whether or not selected frames should auto-raise.

This is a minor mode. If called interactively, toggle the Auto-Raise mode mode. If the prefix argument is positive, enable the mode, and if it is zero or negative, disable the mode.

If called from Lisp, toggle the mode if ARG is toggle. Enable the mode if ARG is nil, omitted, or is a positive number. Disable the mode if ARG is a negative number.

To check whether the minor mode is enabled in the current buffer, evaluate (frame-parameter nil \=auto-raise)'.

The mode's hook is called both when the mode is enabled and when it is disabled.

Auto Raise mode does nothing under most window managers, which switch focus on mouse clicks. It only has an effect if your window manager switches focus on mouse movement (in which case you should also change focus-follows-mouse to t). Then, enabling Auto Raise mode causes any graphical Emacs frame which acquires focus to be automatically raised.

Note that this minor mode controls Emacs's own auto-raise feature. Window managers that switch focus on mouse movement often have their own auto-raise feature.
