How automatic focus restore works
Written by Futsy, founder at Vibe Typer
Vibe Typer remembers the app you were in when recording starts and brings it back when you stop recording, so text lands exactly where you left off.
What it does
When you start recording, Vibe Typer remembers which app you were in. When you stop recording, Vibe Typer brings that app back to the front, and once transcription finishes it inserts the text there. This means you can switch to another app during recording and the text still lands where you started.
Platform support
| Platform | Supported |
|---|---|
| macOS | Yes |
| Windows | Yes |
| Linux (X11) | Yes |
| Linux (Wayland) | No |
Wayland limitation
Wayland's security model prevents applications from programmatically setting window focus. When the recording indicator hides, your compositor may return focus to the previous window, but this behavior is not guaranteed and depends on your compositor.
Configuration
No configuration is needed. Automatic focus restore is always enabled on supported platforms.
