I like the new pukka, unfortunately I've never been a fan of how the windows behave.
Here's how it should work:
-If i'm in the submit link window, and press the escape key, the window should be closed, and the app that I was on should be brought back to the foreground. Currently, pukka just clears the window, I then have to press "cmd+w", then "alt+tab" to get back to my browser.
-When I click the pukka icon in the menubar and hit escape, the app I was on should be brought back to the front.
You can accomplish some of these tricks in cocoa:
NSWorkspace * ws = [NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace];
NSDictionary * activeApp = [ws activeApplication];
[ws launcApplication:[activeApp valueForKey:@"NSApplicationPath"]];
I'll leave it up to you to figure out when exactly you need to record this info, and how to handle bringing the active app back in the foreground.

Those are some neat ideas.
Those are some neat ideas. Twitterrific's focusing behaves similarly (minus the Esc) and I have aimed for previous-app-focus after post-hide in Pukka. I hadn't considered this (at least, not in a long time) for when you are otherwise leaving the app. I will definitely give it some thought. Thanks for the input.

Yea, I agree. It would be good if it worked like that, it makes sense :)
