I've asked David if he would preference it... As for the mouse wheel, that does follow the mouse pointer so I was confused as to why anyone would want the keyboard focus to follow the mouse for OB columns irrespective of the mouseClickForKeyboardFocus preference. Each to their own (hence preference required).
