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. Ico -- :wq ^X^Cy^K^X^C^C^C^C

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.

Well, I haven't tested it, but the code of `takeTopFocus` looks pretty different to me: withWindowSet $ maybe (setFocusX =<< asks theRoot) takeFocusX . W.peek To me, that reads as "if nothing is focused, focus the root window", whereas the desired behavior is "no matter what's focused right now, focus the window under the mouse". So both the condition and the action to take seem different to me...? ~d On Sun, Jan 31, 2016 at 2:06 PM, Brandon Allbery wrote:

Isn't this basically takeTopFocus (i.e. ICCCM WM_TAKE_FOCUS)?
