Focus-follows-mouse (plus auto-raise) on Mac OS X

Question

(I don\'t want to hear about how crazy I am to want that! :)

Focus-follows-mouse is also known as point-to-focus, pointer focus, and (in some implementations) sloppy

Answer 1

Experimenting with those options, my Command-Tab started to behave oddly. Here is the solution of how it gives focus to apps again:

It appears that a previous feature, namely the ability for Terminal's window focus to change with mouse movement, is broken in 10.6 and causes Command-Tab to not transfer window focus correctly. To fix the problem, just paste the following command in a Terminal:

defaults write com.apple.Terminal FocusFollowsMouse -string NO

Then restart Terminal.
