This necessitated ClipsWindow getting focus. That change was made a few releases back. Not something we want to change now.

If you use the Clips toolbar (either clips 1 or clips 2), as toolbar buttons never get focus themselves, those clips still work with a single click like before. Hopefully the covers your most often used clips.
The "Move Focus" shortcut is just as good! Thanks for pointing it out. It's been explained before that the windows like Spellcheck and Reports are treated a child windows (presumably of Code View) and therefore can't be focused out of any way other than via mouse. Is that structure a must-have for other functionality? Any chance of making it possible to focus out of those child windows without clicking or closing, too?
