You mean some kind of `save-frame-focus` macro (tho that name itself can be confusing since it seems to refer to `frame-focus` which is yet another kettle of fish)? "Manually" changing focus should be something done very rarely in Elisp, so why/when would you need to use something like `save-frame-focus`? Stefan
