Komodo JS Macro - force the focus back onto the editor after an alt-tab (JavaScript recipe) by Todd Whiteman
ActiveState Code (http://code.activestate.com/recipes/577164/)

A Komodo JavaScript macro that can be used to force the focus back to the Komodo editor after switching between windows (i.e. after using Alt-Tab).

This macro only applies to Windows and Mac OS - where there is an application activated notification event available.

To use this macro - set the macro to trigger on the "On startup" event.
