Using the Launcher to open Chrome (Super, chrome, enter) does not take focus from what ever application was running previously.

Kinda defeating the purpose of the Launcher.

At the same time, the text cursor is 'alive'/blinking in both chrome in the search bar and any previous application.

Is there is a setting to force Ubuntu to move focus on opening a new application?

Note: I am using multiple desktops and 2 monitors if that is relevant

Running dconf and setting org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences auto-raise to true will do the same thing.

or on commandline:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences auto-raise true

This is helpful if you dont want to install compiz
