ABSTRACT:
A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture direct a computer system to postpone transferring focus to a newly opened window displayed on the computer display. The method includes the first step of in response to a command from user controls to open a new window, determining if an existing open window retains focus. If an existing open window retains focus, the second step includes determining if at least one key stroke has been received from a buffer while focus is being transferred to the new window. If the buffer is receiving at least one key stroke while focus is being transferred to the new window, the third step includes mapping the new window to the computer display while retaining focus with the existing window.
