Oh for sure, focus-follows-mouse is widely available. But with CWM, it is easy to configure the WM so that a window being focused doesn't also cause it to be raised.
- pjmlp 6y agoYeah but that is how it is supposed to work. Exactly how I used fvwm (the original one) and twm back in the 1994 onwards. To be raised one needs to additionally click on it.
- charlesdaniels 6y agoRight, but in CWM, you can also make it so that clicking on it doesn't raise it either. Which is useful if you want to click UI elements in a window without raising it.
- pjmlp 6y agoAh ok, thanks.
- signa11 6y agofwiw, that’s exactly how my fvwm2 setup works. you need an explicit key-chord to raise a window that has focus. or you need to click on the title-bar. also, realized that monitors are getting wider than taller, so vertical real estate is precious, so title-bars are on the ‘left’ side of windows. which seem to work well for me...
