I have Alt-TAB set up to move the pointer to the title bar of the
window that I flip to. It is effectively a mouse-follows-focus policy
to correspond to the focus-follows-mouse policy.

(setq warp-to-window-enabled t)

(lambda ()
((get 'cycle-windows 'command-fun))
(warp-cursor-to-window (input-focus))))
(setq warp-to-window-offset '(1 . -5))
(bind-keys global-keymap "A-Tab" 'cycle-windows-and-warp)
