using 1.0.9 icewm package from Debian Woody I have the option 'Always maintain focus under mouse window (makes some keyboard support non-functional)' turned on in my ice prefs. I am noticing that it breaks some keyboard stuff indeed, in particular Alt-Tabbing between windows, since depending on where your mouse pointer is, the focus would go somewhere else instead of the window you Alt-Tabbed to. I would still like to use the 'focus follows mouse' option, but if possible keep it compatible with Atl-Tab, so my question: - Is it possible to have the focus follow moue pointer only if the mouse moves? i.e. if I Alt-Tab, this won't move the mouse, and the newly raised window would have focus? - Other solution would be to warp mouse pointer to a raised window? Otherwise ... been playing with the various prefs and config functionality of ice lately, it's very, very good :-) TTimo |

I already have ClickToFocus=0 Let me explain again: I have StrongPointerFocus=1, which makes the focus follow my mouse cursor moves. I like this feature, but it breaks the Alt-TAB functionality in some cases. i.e. maximize an app (such as mozilla for instance), run something else in a smaller window (xchat). Now place the cursor on the screen so that it's above the mozilla window, but not the xchat window. At this point mozilla has focus. If you Alt-TAB to xchat, it will be raised, and loose focus right after that because the mouse pointer will focus you back to mozilla. That's even though the mouse didn't move. I am attaching my prefs file if that helps.

You have to unset StrongPointerFocus (or set it to 0) for the desired behaviour. I thought that's clear. Markus. |
