### `honor-xdg-activation-with-invalid-serial`
<sup>Since: next release</sup>
Widely-used clients such as Discord and Telegram make fresh xdg-activation tokens upon clicking on their tray icon or on their notification.
Most of the time, these fresh tokens will have invalid serials, because the app needs to be focused to get a valid serial, and if the user clicks on a tray icon or a notification, it is usually because the app *isn't* focused, and the user wants to focus it.
By default, niri ignores xdg-activation tokens with invalid serials, to prevent windows from randomly stealing focus.
This debug flag makes niri honor such tokens, making the aforementioned widely-used apps get focus when clicking on their tray icon or notification.
Amusingly, clicking on a notification sends the app a perfectly valid activation token from the notification daemon, but these apps seem to simply ignore it.
Maybe in the future these apps/toolkits (Electron, Qt) are fixed, making this debug flag unnecessary.
```kdl
debug {
honor-xdg-activation-with-invalid-serial
}
```
### Key Bindings
These are not debug options, but rather key bindings.
