I think I started this thread with my pipe dream of Psychic Mouse. So I
will explain my point: I have TeX, Emacs (or TxEd), Previewer and a CLI
all already running. I would like the correct window to come to the front
and get activated. I can do that with my mouse. With DMouse, I have to only
move the mouse a few millimeters, then start typing. There is only one
possible improvement I can think of: Some hot key combination (left Amiga +
numeric keypad key?) that activates the window of the corresponding task.
Browser does something else.
