When you invoke an X service (it could be an "emacs" or "vi" or
whatever X window application) from a Terminal window the system puts
correctly the X window as the foremost one with the nasty property of
leaving in background the X11 application and directing the output of
keystroke to the originating Terminal application which remains the
current one. This is not a problem of "focus on". When I tried this way
I got the cursor of the X window application to become "Block" as the
mouse move over the application window, but the the Terminal
application remains "current". We solve this problem on Linux system by
letting follow the invokation of the X service by a suitable ESC
sequence which put the X window as the foremost/ foreground
application. I have noted that the "Commad + Tab" could do the same as
the X11 application after the invokation of the X service follow the
Terminal application. But which is the code for the "Command" key ?
Many tanks
