It depends. I have "focus follows mouse" and the window with the input
focus can be very deep in the stack, and might be barely visible at all
(in extreme cases of copy-in-one-windows-and-paste-in-another). It really
depends of what you want to do with the "topmost" window, just keep in mind
that "topmost window" and "window with active focus" might differ.
