Switch to split when pasting

[gtirloni]

In a single window with two split panes, if I select something in split A (which it auto-copies) and click with the middle-buttom on split B, it pastes the text correctly but focus remains in Split A.

I couldn't find a setting to configure this behavior. I would like to automatically switch focus to the split where the text was pasted into because most often I want to immediatelly use the keyboard to write something.

exists but im not sure this is the exact thing you are looking for

Are there other applications with this behavior? I am wondering if we need a configuration at all or if it makes sense to always change focus when a middle-click paste happens over a surface.

I don't know of many GUI applications with splits, but both Neovim and Helix switch splits when pasting with middle-click.
