Graphics window always overlaps console window!

Does anyone know how I can set up R so that when I make a graphic, the
graphics window remains behind the console window? It's annoying to
have to reach for the mouse every time I want to type another line of
code (e.g., to add another line to the plot). Thanks.

What operating system?

Default window focus behavior is highly OS and even window manager
specific and is not an R issue.

Depending upon your OS and window manager, you may need to check the
documentation and/or do a Google search on "window focus" for further
information.

Another alternative, if you are on Windows, is to review Windows FAQ 5.4
"How do I move focus to a graphics window or the console?", but this is
a programmatic approach and not a means to affect default behavior.

HTH,
