Codetek seems to be completely random in its focus, and I'm often just surprised as hell at how my computer behaves. I flip workspaces, hit a key combo, and, um, wonder what the hell is going on. OS X apps are great with this: I'm using iChat, I flip to my Safari's workspace and hit Command-T (to open a new tab), which instead opens the Font window. Oh crap, I don't want that, so I hit Command-W to close the window, except the font window isn't a real window, so instead you just closed the chat window. Hey, thanks, that's exactly what I wanted. This is definitely one of the things keeping me from switching to a mac for my main desktop. -- It's not that I'm afraid to die.
