I'm having trouble with epoch going into click-to-type mode.
The symptoms are that after a while, epoch will stop switching buffers
when I switch screens unless I click the mouse in the new screen.
I've never seen this... until yesterday.
My guess is that some handler is getting nulled, similar to
the mouse problem I had (where resetting epoch::event-handler to
event::handler would fix the mouse being ignored).
I've had that happen before..
Since the above just happened to me, I looked in epoch-lisp/event.el.
(assoc 'focus event::functions)
=>
(focus t (lambda (type new-focus-state scr)
(and new-focus-state (select-screen scr))))
Where'd that t come from? This is odd. Some more browsing around event.el
shows that ignore-event will do this. Try evaluating
(resume-event 'focus)
And things should continue normally. M-x display-event-status (C-z e) will
tell you if it's ignored; the first column (state) will either be
"H"andled, or "I"gnored.
Ignore-event gets called in the event::handler if an error occurred in the
event's handler function. I can't see how an error could happen here, but
something went wrong and focus got ignored.
