Not so sure "active" is the right word, what I think he is getting at is "focus". If you somehow "force" a Rainmeter skin to have focus at all times, so it can detect and react to an arrow key, that will end your use of your computer other than that skin. If you use the HotKey plugin to redefine the global meaning of the arrow key(s), that will also pretty much cripple Windows.
