Program thats dependent on other program

[Lennart]

In a multi-monitor situation is it very handy that a program (X), running
in the second monitor, follows the actual (on-top) window (Y) in the first
monitor.

The benefit is that X can show for example keycode's for Y. And, when
you're switching to program Z, X follows and shows the additional data for
Z.

Useful, isn't it? Now my question: does a program like this exists ...?

Don't know, what do you want X to do with the codes?
Key and mouse logging is easy but using these to drive another program
would be highly specific. There are many keyloggers.
Do you want some sort of macro recorder/playback? There are a few of those .

Or, do you want e.g. to display a help file for Y, then when Z is frontmost
show the helpfile for it????
If Y is frontmost on mon1 then bring app X1 to front on mon2??

Next you will be wanting it to control apps over a network

Yeah, why not

No, i'm not looking for a keylogger or something.

When Y is in front, X has to show information about Y (eg. links, keycodes,
tips,) and when i'm Alt-tabbing to program Z, X shows information about Z
(eg. code, warnings)

For example:
I'm working with a html-program. X shows me on the second monitor htmlcode
i always need. Or some tips. Then, i switch to openoffice. I'm new to OO,
so i don't now already al the key's like Alt-Ctrl-p and so on ...
