closes #793

Before:

  • I'm working on my IDE (workspace 3)
  • Same project folder is open in Files (workspace 5)
  • Each time I edit a file, Files will steal focus and workspace is switched

After:

  • Focus stealing from a hidden window is ignored, and workspace is only switched when explicit

Example steps to reproduce:

  1. Open Downloads folder in Files (Windows explorer doesn't do this)
  2. Switch to another workspace
  3. Open a browser, and download something
  4. Workspace is switched to one containing Files

Disclaimer: I don't write Rust, so some AI help was used, with thorough review
