Re: [xmonad] Mouse focus without entering window

You should be able to do this with the `handleEventHook` [1], for which the `MotionEvent` [2] is the appropriate event to handle. You should be able to use `focus` [3] on the `Window` contained in the event to focus the window the mouse is currently over. Caveat emptor, this advice is entirely untested -- no idea what odd corners there are, or even whether it will work (e.g. I vaguely recall that xmonad used to ignore motion events in some circumstances; I don't see that in the code now but I wouldn't be surprised if it were still the case somehow). ~d [1] http://hackage.haskell.org/package/xmonad-0.12/docs/XMonad-Core.html#v:handl...

Be careful - with XMonad.Actions.UpdatePointer mouse cursor gets stuck in the monitor corners sometimes. I made pull request to fix this https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad-contrib/pull/17 , but it is not merget at the moment.

Look at XMonad.Actions.UpdatePointer

Thanks for pointing me to UpdatePointer. It's indeed not exactly what I ment, but I guess it is close enough and solves my problem for now.
