  • RHEL 7 - Gnome - Window focus

    Posted on

    Hello,

    These window Focus Mode settings are available in Tweaks:

    Click
    Mouse
    Sloppy

    1) Click : click on title bar to activate a window
    2) Mouse, Sloppy (I could not tell the difference): window becomes active when mouse hovers over a window

    existing Click mode is inconvenient when windows overlap each other
    Mouse, Sloppy modes often lead to text being typed in a wrong window. This causes unexpected text to appear in wrong parts of code, passwords typed in wrong places - expensive mistakes.

    is this possible to add another Focus Mode:
    *) Click anywhere in a window to activate that window
    this mode is used in Windows, it is very natural, never causes any issues
