Is there any way to have Mac OS focus a window that I right-click on? It happens to me quite frequently that I right-click on something, choose "rename" or "create file" or what have you, need to type the filename and the keyboard input goes to another window, because Mac OS appears to switch focus only on a left-click.
1Concrete example: Right-click on a background Pages document, select Create paragraph style from selection (a sheet dialog will appear) and you cannot start typing. – Daniel Beck – 2011-06-11T06:05:00.553
1Another common case for me is to create a new tab in Safari, when out of focus. The tab gets created but you can't type the URL because you are still out of focus. This seems to be an issue (bug?) that can be fixed with the next Mac OS X Release... But what can be the side effects of this issue being fixed? Is it really an issue or deliberate feature? – Arko – 2011-06-15T08:57:34.683
Yes, that is the kind of thing that is bugging me so much. I take it this means that there is no solution? – Steven Don – 2011-06-15T09:40:57.110
