When I open a new window with 'O', and use 'F' or 'L' in the first one, the text field opens itself in the second window, not in the first one as expected.

What desktop environment / window manager are you using? I am currently detecting
focus-in and focus-out events to determine which window should grab the
keyboard. Is this in edit-mode with gvim open?

By the way, I tested astroid for a few days, and I'm very pleased with it.

Nice!

No gvim open here. I'm using herbstluftwm. (I will test later on another WM, just in case.)

Ok, I added some debug output in 9b97015 so that you can keep track of
which window gets/has/looses focus. I've been testing on openbox and i3.

I experimented a bit further with herbstluftwm. By default, hwm does not give focus to new windows. When I override this setting for astroid:

herbstclient rule class~'[Aa]stroid' focus=on

...the wrong behavior disappears.

Nice catch. I'll check if I assume somewhere that the new window is given
focus.

Seems like I did an unconditional grab_modal on new windows, it should
be fixed in e017fd8. Let me know if there is a difference.

nice! Everything seems to work, now.

Ok!
