I think this depends on your application. E.g., for a text editor the  
only sensible notion of a current document (at least I can think of)  
is the one you are currently editing and obviously there is no such  
document when you are working in another application.

There are two options here: In a similar situation, I keep track of  
the most recently edited document with an attribute in the  
application delegate. But you might as well use NSApplication's - 
orderedWindows method in order to look for the frontmost window if  
the application does not own the main window.
