When you invoke an X service (it could be an "emacs" or "vi" or

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 ?
Run the xev application, put the cursor over its window, and press
the Command key. The shell (window) in which you invoked the xev
command will tell show you the keycode.
Command-Tab cycles through all open applications, so a single
invocation of Command-Tab won't take you to X11 unless it is next in
the cycle. I don't know if that will always be the case when you
invoke an X client from within Terminal.app.
Of course, you can always invoke the X client (emacs or vi or
whatever) from within a terminal window running under X11, for
example, xterm.
Many tanks
