Hello all. Like most people I have several apps running. One thing that really annoys me is that I'll be working in one app (let's say terminal). Then something will finish or happen in another app (let's say Handbrake or Safari) and the other app will take focus! I'll be typing in terminal, look up, and suddenly I'm in Safari because something finished downloading or something and the window switched from Terminal to Safari. This happens with a lot of apps and is really frustrating.

Is there any way I can tell OSX to not switch from the current window? I can do it all by myself just fine when I get done with what I am currently doing. :)

Thanks a bunch! I've been looking around for a while but if anyone knows, this community sure will.
