What happened?

Hello! Thanks for making the wonderful WVDH. I use it a lot.

I have noticed that when jumping to virtual desktops (alt+#) using WVDH there is a problem with the focus.

Preconditions:

  1. "Use Hot Key to Jump to Desktop" is enabled in WVDH settings and mapped to Alt+#

  1. There are two virtual desktops in Task View - Desktop 1 & Desktop 2

Steps

  1. Switch to Desktop 1 and open Notepad
  2. Switch to Desktop 2 and open CMD
  3. Press Alt+1 to jump to Desktop 1
  4. Press Alt+2 to jump to Desktop 2
  5. Press Alt+1 to jump to Desktop 1
  6. Press Alt+2 to jump to Desktop 2
  7. Press Alt+1 to jump to Desktop 1

Expected: Focus is on Notepad. If you type, for example, "abc", then "abc" will appear in Notepad
Actual: Focus is on CMD in Desktop 2.

Additional information:

At step 7 the icon of Notepad in the taskbar is flashing in red.
Sometimes the issue is already visible at step 3. Sometimes the issue is already visible at step 5. Seems like a timing issue.
