Palettes and the selectedObject

[Bob Sneidar]

I think if the pallet begins with “rev” then it is treated as a development object, and thus will not affect the focusedObject, but that is off the top of my head from reading all the proper posts on the matter.

Does this mean that the previous focusedObject is lost and thus I can't use a palette to do an insertion in the field in the ordinary stack? Looks like it. But programs like Apple's Keyboard Viewer do it, and I suppose there must be stuff like that on Windows. The question is, is there a way to do it in LC?
