How do I make a newly opened file the active window on GNOME 3?
When I double click a file in Nautilus (e.g. a LibreOffice document) it will open a new window in the background, but Nautilus remains the active window.
Is there a way to open a file and have the new window automatically become the active window?
I'm running Ubuntu 18.04.
nautilus gnome-shell focus

Use a GNOME shell extensions called NoAnnoyance. This extension would put the newly launched window in focus straight away.

Thank You. It worked like a charm. I used the Ubuntu Software program, searched for noannoyance and installed it. I've followed your other link about Gnome shell extensions and discovered how to turn the noannoyance extension off if I have to.
