Jeez is that an actual thing on OSX? That would just make it feel unresponsive to me.
- srssays 10y agoNot entirely. For text fields and buttons, clicking them will usually work even if their window is in the background. But clicking them will also focus the background window. If you don't want to focus the background window -- or you want to use an element that can't be used if the window is backgrounded -- then holding 'cmd' will pass the click through.

Damn, is there any equivalent functionality (be it integrated or third party) for windows? I'd love to be able to run games in fullscreen exclusive mode without having them lose focus every time I want to look at a different chrome tab on my secondary display.
