💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

tickit_window_take_focus()

okay so this one requests that the given window take the input focus. and when I say requests I mean it climbs — it causes respectively the parent to take focus, recursively all the way up to the root. the way that works?? iconic. 👑

then, once all that drama is done, the terminal cursor takes on the properties defined by the given window. and a TICKIT_EV_FOCUS event gets delivered to the previous owner of the focus and to the given window — yes, both, they both get the notification, no one gets left on read. 📬

tickit_window_is_focused()

returns true if the given window currently has the input focus. that's it, that's the whole function. simple. elegant. slay. ✨

🔥 RETURN VALUE 🔥
