[R] how do I return "focus" to console window
Hi!
I am creating a tool for adjustments of a special kind of datasets. I
am plotting these dataset, and after a plot the program needs
information from the user (via readline("1: approve 2: disapprove >
").
Everything works fine apart from the fact that I have to click (with
the mouse) on the console-window before I can gice the program its
input. That is a bit annoying. The question is: how can I arrange it so
that I only have to press the key (that is: that the console-windows
is "active" - in some sense - after a plot)
I am using R 1.2.3 on WinNT...
kind regards,
Tomas Svensson

I don''t see a focus shift except when a graphics window is first launched, and that is deliberate (to bring it to the front). So I can''t tell you how to solve something I never see. There is a function bringToTop() to do the reverse, to give focus to the graphics window. You could probably modify it to do what you want: if you do please contribute the modification. -- Brian D.
