Is there any way to find the window under the pointer? I've tried using `getPanel -underPointer` and then find the window that holds this panel, but some windows (script editor, attrib editor) don't use panels so this won't work for them.

Anyone know of a way to find the window?

Hey man. I'm just doing this in the thread below yours :thumbsup:

string $currentPanel = `getPanel -withFocus`;

Cheers,

Yeah, getPanel doesn't work because some windows (script editor, attrib ed) don't have panels.
