THe new code is in place. In the current state it should behave exactly like the old code, so please report any oddities, even minor changes in behaviour. I still have to write the code to parse all the new styles, but the four old focus policies must behave like they did before (ClickToFocus, NeverFocus, MouseFocus, SloppyFocus). Everything that is even remotely related to focus handling should be tested thoroughly (even the sort order of the internal window list). I am aware of two minor incompatibilities: ClickToFocus now works only if no modifiers are pressed. The same is true for NeverFocus with windows like "textedit" that use the WM_TAKES_FOCUS protocol. > 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.
