Is there a way to get the second frontmost app? For example, right now Mail.app is the frontmost, then Safari, because Safari was the active app before I switched to Mail. Is there any sort of API to that tells me that if I were to cmd-tab, that Safari would be the new frontmost app?

As far as I'm aware, the only way to do this is to track the front most application with the carbon event kEventClassApplication kEventAppFrontSwitched and remember whatever was the last application.

I don't believe you can track application switches from Cocoa directly, but I'd be happy to proven wrong.

Enjoy,
