    For years we'd just click on blank space of the target window or use CMD+Tab / CMD+` to work in conjunction with mouse, for more consistent behavior. But if you want the app window under your cursor to gain focus automatically, try this: https://github.com/synappser/AutoFocus
  • Help me find a new name for AutoRaise

    Stefan Post kindly asked me yesterday to rename AutoRaise to avoid a name clash with his Autoraise.

    And some window management utilities like Rectangle and my current favorites, FinderFix and AutoRaise.
  • Slicing Through the Layers of the Desktop

    It's AutoRaise a focus-follows-mouse app. I was using Yabai for this focus-follows-mouse effect but this is miles ahead because it also extends the Desktop (watch this video to understand what is meant by this amazing workflow) and does not require SIP disabled. I can't live without it anymore. :)

    Not exactly the solution, but you can use u/Synappser AutoRaise app to auto-focus on the window under the cursor and hit the click on first try. Link to the reddit post.

    Oh, I like this idea! Please submit it as feature request. Thank you.

    Indeed, you have different "nuances" in the focus-follows-mouse implementations. The "raise", the "focus", and the "sloppy focus". AutoRaise currently implements the "raise" behaviour. Would you be interested in other behaviours? In which case would you like to post a feature request to the issues page with your scenario? :)
