I'm developing a screenshot-taker application using Qt and need some assistance with macOS-specific behavior.

Here’s the scenario:

  • When I take a screenshot, my application becomes focused to allow the user to draw over the screenshot.
  • After editing, the user can copy the edited screenshot.
  • The problem is that the previously focused window (for example, a Chrome window) loses focus and remains unfocused even after my application closes.

What I want to achieve:

  • Programmatically refocus the last focused window that was active before my application became active.

Is there any way to achieve this using macOS APIs? Specifically, I’m looking for a method to track and reactivate the previously focused window from my application. Any guidance, suggestions, or code snippets would be greatly appreciated!
