Turn off the Change Focus Window on reload ?

[Charles-Schleich]

While Running vite --config vite.config.js
upon saving a file in VSCode, the window focus changes from my Code Editor to my Browser.

How do i disable this behavior ?

I don't think Vite is triggering this behaviour by default. Do you have code that would re-focus the window, in which HMR would re-trigger that code?

Fantastic question:
I am unsure which Hot module replacement I am using.
I am running this in Firefox 126.0 (64-bit)
with the config below

// vite.config.js
export default {
    build: {
        outDir: './dist'
    },
    server: {
        hmr: { overlay: false }
    }
}

hmr: { overlay: false } seems to have no effect.

It looks like this behavior does not exist in chrome, it doesn't force window focus (And move cursor in the case of My window manager.)
I will continue in chrome, but i would like to get this working in Firefox.

@Charles-Schleich did you find a way to keep focus window in your editor?
