Coteditor: cot invoked from command line with --wait should return focus to terminal on close

[vassudanagunta]

When CotEditor configured as the editor for git using editor = cot --wait, closing the file should also return focus to the invoking progrem (i.e. Terminal). Right now the focus remains with CotEditor, so that when one resumes typing to continue working in Terminal, one gets the macOS warning sounds that there is no application with focus to accept the keyboard events. One is forced to use the mouse or CMD-TAB to give Terminal focus before typing the next command.

(I love CotEditor btw. Thank ou!)

I've just done implementing this, as I felt your request is reasonable.
However, I am actually not sure whether this behavior change does not beak any use case.
For example, when a user uses other terminal or tool to invoke cot --wait.

I'll release several beta versions before releasing CotEditor 3.6.0 and ask users if this new feature fits.

Anyway, thanks for the request.

ok cool. I wonder how editors implement it. I pretty certain that when I was using BBEdit and TextEdit as the editor, focus returned to the command line, because my muscle memory got surprised by the change in behavior when I switched to CotEditor. I think Sublime Text is the most popular GUI editor... but I don't have it so can't compare.

Is there a way to get notified of beta releases? I'm happy to be a beta tester.

@1024jp I got the beta and it works perfectly now. Thank you!
