Ability to choose window focus on open?

[ian-vu]

Hey! I am looking for the ability to choose a focus a specific window when opening an edge bar. Currently is seems like when opening an edge bar the focus is on the last window.

E.g. I have the left edgebar configured with three pinned windows in the order Neotree filesystem, buffers and git status. When I call the api require("edgy").open("left") the sidebar opens all 3 pinned windows and the focus is on the last window Neotree git status. However, I would like to focus on the first window, Neotree filesystem.

Any ideas on how I can achieve this? 🙏

I just had the literally exact same issue. I managed to get it fixed by scheduling a focus change in my keybind to open the sidebar.

Here's a link to the relevant code in my edgy config to set the focus to the file tree.

And a minimal snip of the relevant code:

return {
  "folke/edgy.nvim",
  keys = {
    { -- toggle the right sidebar tree nav
      "<Leader>pl",
      function()
        require("lazy").load({ plugins = { "neo-tree.nvim" } })
        require("edgy").toggle("right")
        -- focus the file tree pane after opening
        vim.schedule(function()
          local all_win_ids = vim.api.nvim_list_wins()
          local edgy = require("edgy")
          -- Iterate over each window ID
          for _, win_id in ipairs(all_win_ids) do
            -- Get the Edgy.Window object for the current window ID
            local win = edgy.get_win(win_id)

            -- If the window exists in edgy and is the "Files" window, focus it
            if win and win.view.get_title() == "Files" then
              vim.api.nvim_set_current_win(win_id)
            end
          end
        end)
      end,
      desc = "Panes: Right (toggle)",
    },
  },
  -- ... other config options
}
