Priority: medium
Bug ID: 66289
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: Implement Custom Window Focus
Severity: enhancement
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Linux (All)
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: All
Status: NEW
Version: unspecified
Component: wayland
Product: Wayland
So I've always thought the perfect way to deal with window focus would be the
following:
With two windows open (A and B), assuming A is above B, but B is visible behind
A. (I.E. a terminal window on top of a web browser window).
Focus is initially on A (mouse and keyboard).
When the mouse hovers over B the scroll wheel is enabled for B, but keyboard
focus is still in A. (So you can scroll a page on the web browser while still
having the terminal on top.)
When the mouse is single clicked (or clicked and dragged, etc.) A is still
raised, but keyboard focus goes to B. (So you can go to a different webpage
without the Terminal disappearing behind the web browser. This would be great
for copy/pasting things from one window to another).
When B is double clicked it is then raised and A is no longer in focus.
Does that make sense? I've heard that this isn't possible with the X server (at
least without a LOT of hacking).
I'd like the ability to do highly customizable window focus (keyboard and mouse
independent) like this.
