By focus, do you mean automatically making the window containing the mouse the active one? It will send scroll events to whatever window the mouse is over, which I find really nice when I have two open, typing in one but reading from something else (like a PDF or web page). It saves me two clicks to not change focus just to scroll, but not let the other window take over. I guess it's all just a preference then.
- zenojevski 13y agoI'll add that OSX has a wonderful focus behavior. As you said, scrolling under pointer is a huge boon, but also clicking on background windows (in most well-behaved apps) usually focuses the window without sending the click to the window (possibly triggering an unintended destructive action). But the best part is that cmd-click allows interacting with windows without focusing them, allowing all sorts of things like translating your IM window out from under a movie player without covering the video.
