Follow-up Comment #3, bug #18508 (project mypaint):
> I'm not sure about keys though. Since there's no way of telling whether the
scratchpad or the main doc has this "last pointed at" focus, it may be
non-obvious to users. Particularly not users who prefer click-to-focus for
normal window interaction. Thoughts?
I don't use the toolboxes docked so I'm inclined to suggest just going by
window focus. People with click-to-focus will have to click it in some way,
while focus-follows-mouse users just have to hover. The tough part is the
embedded sidebar. I don't suppose there's a way to detect whether the WM does
click-to-focus or focus-follows-mouse, and then react accordingly?
Actually, disregard the previous paragraph. I'm going to leave it in case
the thought process is useful, but instinctive use seems to be contrary to
what I expected. I just spent a few minutes alternating between the canvas
and the scratchpad to test and I find I'm expecting a focus-follows-mouse type
behaviour. I don't think this is due to a bias based on normal use pattern; I
normally use click-to-focus (so I can use mousewheel on webpages without
losing focus on where I'm typing elsewhere).
