WHAT IS ACTIVE WINDOW?

Before you learn this trick, it is a good idea to really know what ‘active window’ means.

An active window is the currently focused window in the current window manager or explorer. Different window managers specify the currently-active window in different ways and allow the user to switch between windows in different ways. For example, in Windows, if both Notepad and Mozilla Firefox are open, clicking in the Notepad window will cause that window to become active. In Windows, the active window is indicated by having a different color title bar.
