This extension can be used by regular application to instruct to compositor to activate or switch to other running (regular) applications. The client is responsbile for filtering their own app_id when receiving application id. Note that other (regular) applications can bind to this interface and there is no mechanism to place to restrict or limit that. The compositor may choose to advertise one or more application ids which can be used to activate/switch to. When this global is bound, the compositor will send all application ids available for activation, but may send additional application id at any time (when they've been mapped in the compositor). Ask the compositor to make a toplevel to become the current/focused window for window management purposes. See xdg_toplevel.set_app_id from the xdg-shell protocol for a description of app_id. Ask the compositor to make a toplevel obey the app_role and, depending on the role, to use the the x and y values as initial positional values. The x and y values would only make sense for certain roles. See xdg_toplevel.set_app_id from the xdg-shell protocol for a description of app_id. Ask the compositor to hide the toplevel window for window management purposes. Depending on the window role, this request will either display the previously active window (or the background in case there's no previously activate surface) or temporarly (or until a 'activate_app' is called upon) hide the surface. All the surfaces are identifiable by using the app_id, and no actions are taken in case the app_id is not/was not present. See xdg_toplevel.set_app_id from the xdg-shell protocol for a description of app_id.
