In the best tradition of the "great style flag rewrite" I'm now planning the "great focus policy rewrite" (GFPR) :-) I'd like to introduce a whole lot of new options to fine tune focus policies. These may become sub options of a new "FocusPolicy" style instead of independent styles:
Acquiring and releasing focus: 1) Focus when pointer enters window 2) Unfocus when pointer leaves window 3) Focus when unfocused and client window clicked 4) Focus when unfocused and decorations clicked 5) Focus programmatically (with Focus or FlipFocus command) 6) Focus when application graps the focus. Overriding application specified focus model: 7) Lenience Raising windows: 8a) Raise when client window is clicked 8b) Raise when client window is clicked and window is unfocused 9a) Raise when decorations are clicked 9b) Raise when decorations are clicked and window is unfocused Recyclicng raise/focus clicks: 10) Pass focus clicks to application 11) Pass raise clicks to application 12) Allow bindings on focus clicks 13) Allow bindings on raise clicks Configuring the buttons to use: 14) Buttons to use for raise/focus clicks 15) Modifiers to use for raise/focus clicks Currently, MouseFocus = 1 + 2 + 5 + 6 + 12 + 13 SloppyFocus = 1 + 5 + 6 + 12 + 13 ClickToFocus = 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 12 + 13 NeverFocus = (forbid all) Lenience = 7 ClickToFocusClickRaises = 8b + 9b <other>FocusClickRaises = 8a + 9a ...PassesClick = 10 + 11 The old styles can be translated to sets of other options. New proposed focus policies: ManualFocus = 5 + 6 + ... ClickClientFocus = ClickToFocus - 4 Also, I suppose to add 3 and 4 to MouseFocus and Sloppy focus for the (unavoidable) situations where you end up with the pointer over and unfocused window. All this not only allows a lot more flexibility for specific windows. It also simplifies the code in HandeButtonPress() because we don't have to distinguish between abstract focus policies anymore. Instead the switches can be made on a per-feature basis. Do you have additional suggestions? Did I miss anything that could be added (I left out auto raising when the pointer enters a window on purpose).
