Sorry I meant (to say) active or foreground application (as it would be if clicked on with a mouse).

So I'm saying:

1) RB menu could be used to select/change the active/foreground application (and start an app that is not running if selected).

I guess one would argue that Remote Buddy needs to detect if the active or foreground application is changed though another interface.

First question is why ? The user could just select through RM menu which app they want to be active again (RB would then foreground it).

If my lack of understanding of the tech details or oversimplification makes this debate miss the mark then apols.

Best,
