Command-click on title-bar to focus
Authored by: adrianu on May 20, '02 06:43:22AM
Actually, there is something well worth trying that is related to this.

If you command-click on the title-bar of a Cocoa app's window, it will gain the focus without coming in front - i.e. you can type things into a Cocoa app's window without it being frontmost.

I'm not aware of any Carbon apps that have implemented this natural feature of Cocoa (although it could certainly be emulated).

Bye!

I should add that it only works if the Cocoa app is already frontmost - i.e. you have to have one of its windows in front before you can focus another by command-click in its title-bar.
