26 <description summary="Private extension to allow applications activate other apps">
27 This extension can be used by regular application to instruct to compositor
28 to activate or switch to other running (regular) applications. The client
29 is responsbile for filtering their own app_id when receiving application id.
31 Note that other (regular) applications can bind to this interface and there is
32 no mechanism to place to restrict or limit that.

46 <description summary="advertise application id">
47 The compositor may choose to advertise one or more application ids which
48 can be used to activate/switch to.
50 When this global is bound, the compositor will send all application ids
51 available for activation, but may send additional application id at any
52 time (when they've been mapped in the compositor).

59 Ask the compositor to make a toplevel to become the current/focused

88 Ask the compositor to hide the toplevel window for window
89 management purposes. Depending on the window role, this request
90 will either display the previously active window (or the background
91 in case there's no previously activate surface) or temporarly (or
92 until a 'activate_app' is called upon) hide the surface. All
93 the surfaces are identifiable by using the app_id, and no actions are
94 taken in case the app_id is not/was not present.
