With the right window manager, it is certainly very easy to get access to this information from within Emacs. But I'd assume that there are also some cross-WM methods... after all, all WMs know which window has focus. (Yes, this assumption involves a bit of a leap of faith on my part.) _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list Help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
