"activation" is eg. when opening new tab/window using CLI and a
window-managing app such as Firefox.
This has been bugging me for ages with qutebrowser, which (possibly by
bug) activates previous window even in non-tab mode, preventing new
window to appear in intuitive order within current container.
Finally stop: painstakingly changing it manually for every new workspace
ever.
(...for no reason; just something in my brain preventing me to add
this line for ~4 years.)
It's still a great client, it's just that I don't have anybody to talk
to on Jabber anymore, and since I've forgotten jabber.cz password and
it's really PITA to restore it, it's a bit annoying to have to cancel
the dialog all the time.
Note that the bar is disabled by default; you will need to enable it
on-demand somwhow. One possible way is wrapping clementine in a script
like this:
i3-msg bar mode dock clementine
/usr/bin/clementine
i3-msg bar mode invisible clementine
However, due to i3 limitation, this will not guarrantee that the main
bar will always end up in the very bottom of the screen. To work around
this:
i3-msg bar mode dock clementine
sleep 1
i3-msg bar mode invisible main
sleep 1
i3-msg bar mode dock main
/usr/bin/clementine
i3-msg bar mode invisible clementine
Or vote for i3 feature request to make this more predictable:

Despite using this combination for several years, my brain seems to
think they are in opposite formation.
What could *possibly* go wrong if I switch them?
Basically
1. I like the verb more ("bmo, wish ..."),
2. it removes potential tab-friendliness conflict with another
sub-command I'm fancying,
3. last, but not least, the obvious alias won't have to be 'bj'.
