It seems that the verve-focus utility is missing from version 2 of the plugin.
Yes, verve-focus utility has been removed from version 2, see https://mail.xfce.org/pipermail/xfce-announce/2018-April/000601.html
(In reply to Skunnyk from comment #1) > Yes, verve-focus utility has been removed from version 2, see > https://mail.xfce.org/pipermail/xfce-announce/2018-April/000601.html Well, this is a major regression, making the plugin next to useless (at least for me).
That's why the author ask for help: "verve-focus has been dropped, because I don't have the knowledge or time necessary to maintain it. If you can get it working, let me know."
