Sean Harding finally put into words an issue that I've witnessed for a while now on macOS Sonoma.

This is it: "Weird MacOS thing: the window I am working in will sometimes lose focus (without the app losing focus). Suddenly, and without any obvious cause. It will be as if no window has focus. Sometimes happens as often as every few minutes, sometimes doesn't happen for a long time. I can’t figure out any common variable. But it can be very disruptive. Has anyone else seen this? Any ideas?"

I've adjusted the Python script mentioned in the thread to work with Python 3.x that you can get with Homebrew for example.

This is what the output looks like:

If you want iTerm2 to behave like the other Mac OSX applications, so that alt + left moves the previous word, alt + right moves to the next word and alt + backspace deletes the whole word, add these keyboard shortcuts from iTerm > Preferences > Profiles > Keys:

• Alt + left: Send Escape Sequence, Esc + b
• Alt + right: Send Escape Sequence, Esc + f
• Alt + backspace: Send Hex Code, 0x17

# Google latitude backup
#
# This is a little helper to backup your location from Google Latitude to local disk.
# It saves data as JSON and as GPX.
# Usage is somewhat annoying:
#
# 1. get OACurl http://code.google.com/p/oacurl/
# 2. follow the steps in http://code.google.com/apis/latitude/oacurl.html to get strarted
#    You will have to register a domain with Google Apps and jump through hoops
# 3. Renerate a Key and a Secret for "installed applications" on the google API console,
