When I open terminal through application menu (top left side menu) or from dock, then terminal opens with focus on it, over all other windows. When I try to open terminal through a shortcut, terminal opens behind focused window.

How to make terminal be on top of other windows on launch through a shorctcut?

  • Are you sure about this behaviour ? because when I open browser over existing terminal , the win + t opens new terminal at background .

    unfortunately I threw away elementary from my life, due to quite a lot of issues and not working software. But if somebody faces the same issue and accepts in comments, that your solution works - I will be glad to appreciate your try with upvote and choose it as a "right answer"

The answer appears to help. The newly created windows now always open in front of the other windows. The only minor annoyance is that they do not always have focus until clicked.

EDIT: I would post this as a comment but I don't have enough reputation.
