Subject: How to determine (from Elisp) whether the Emacs frame has focus?
Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2015 22:45:10 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87fv09o9p5.fsf@mbork.pl> (raw)

Hi all,

I'd like to know whether the selected Emacs frame has focus.  Currently,
I'm using an xdotool/xprop combo (I'm on GNU/Linux), but I'd like to
know whether there is a better way.  I know about focus-in-hook and
focus-out-hook, and I could make them set/unset some global variable,
but this looks hackish.

Any ideas?
