Question about window focus
I'm experimenting with using Reaper in my brand-new two-monitor setup, and I've got a question. How do y'all handle this situation? I'm running on Windows 10.
I've got the main Reaper window on one screen in full-screen mode, and I've got the SWS Marker List window on my other display, alongside an Emacs window (that's a text editor). I'm using the Marker List to jump around my project checking out various regions, and I'm using Emacs to take notes as I go.
I'm often not sure which window has the keyboard focus, and I can't really figure out how to tell! I can always give focus to Emacs with alt-tab, but what can I do if the Marker List has focus and I want to give focus to the main Reaper window?
The window list in the alt-tab screen includes the Reaper main window but does not include the SWS Marker List window. If I switch focus to Reaper, and then try to zoom in with the up-arrow, oops, the Marker List intercepts the keystroke so I'm out of luck.
Any suggestions?

P.S. sure I could use my mouse and click on the Reaper window to give it focus, but that's a hassle for several reasons (1. reaching for the mouse disrupts my flow; 2. on a two-display system it's often hard to find the mouse cursor; 3. clicking in the Reaper window can often have unintented side-effects, such as selecting things or moving the edit cursor; 4. I'm generally trying to avoid touching the mouse because it gives me RSI).
