Details:

I'm still busy debugging qtfm.
In Editor Window, I have to set breakpoints and click stepwise execution
buttons.
In command window (retranslated from German "Befehlsfenster"), I have to enter
keystrokes as required by the code under scrutiny. (in this case, it are only
keystrokes for the less commanda to scroll output)
It happened more than once that I thought I was in Command window, but was in
editor window actually, so keystrokes entered messed upt the code to be
debugged


Proposed solutions:
- mark the active window, g.g by a blue frame (or whatever the theme says)
- switch focus by clicking on window top frame or into empty space in window,
not just in the last line
- in editor, have documents locked by default and deliberately ask for
entering edit state before doing so, so that you cannot change source file
accidentially
