  When I use Windows I'm always annoyed by the lack of advanced WM features: focus-follow-mouse, windows always on top, etc. But the thing I miss the most is the transparent copy on select and paste on mid-button. I always have to end up doing it twice.

    focus-follow-mouse, windows always on top For what it's worth Windows has (had? don't know about Windows 11) both of these, but they're either buried in the registry or need Microsoft PowerToys to enable.

      The only place I really use windows is at work, so I'm not at liberty to install additional applications unfortunately. I did manage to enable follow focus a while ago, but it didn't behave as I was used to (I don't remember the details), so I disabled it.

  Your hand never leaves the position where you can just Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V. Scrolling through a long document requires either a ton of mouse-wheeling, fiddling around with the scrollbar or letting go of the mouse and using PgUp/Dn, and out of those, only the scrollbar can be faster than autoscroll. Either way, it should be a configurable option, not hardcoded deep inside the bowels of the system, which appears to be the case as far as I have been able to determine.
