Saves the previously active window ID, activates Stata to ensure it receives keystrokes, then restores focus to the editor so your workflow isn’t interrupted.

Restore editor focus after sending do-file on Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS
Problem:
After upgrading to Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS, Stata’s window ( xstata-mp) ignores synthetic keystrokes sent directly via
xdotool --window, so code no longer executes in the background.Solution:
do "<tempfile>"command.This ensures Sublime-to-Stata workflows continue uninterrupted under the stricter input-event handling in Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS.
Comment:
I think this change is unfortunate, and StataLinux used to work much nicer before. I am not exactly sure what causes the problem in the first place. A brief search revealed potential related problems but I do not possess the skills to get to the bottom of this. This fix makes it possible for me to keep working with StataLinux, but in case someone has the ability to restore the original way the package used to send code from Sublime to Stata in the background, that would be great.
