| Issue 175: | Click on unfocused window eaten | |

If I click on an unfocused window, it gets focused, but the click is eaten by xmonad. It would be nice to have a way to configure it in a way the click would go to the window too (both focus & click sent to the app). I'm using xmonad 0.7 Thank you |

The current behavior is intentional. This modification may be possible as a contrib module.

I know it's intentional, this should have been a wish, not defect, but this google Bugzilla thing does not seem to offer me the choice. Is it possible to reopen it and set it on your side? (Maybe I should write on some google support). Thanks |

I agree that this is a valid wishlist bug, so I’m tagging it as such.

Anybody know if this is possible? I'm gona try looking around but my Haskell knowledge is quite basic so I'm not expecting much. |

Well done a lot of fiddling and learning about how this all works.
handle e@(ButtonEvent {ev_window = w,ev_event_type = t,ev_button = b })
gets called every time you click on an unfocused window or click while holding down
modifiers for a mouse binding. I found grabButtons which explains the mouse binding
calls, but I can't figure out why specifically clicking on an unfocused window calls
it. I assume thats just built in to xlib though.
Going to try sending an button press event to the hovered window to see if that'll work.

Actually I guess that won't work as XSendEvent will send a synthetic event which will probably get ignored. Maybe XPutBackEvent but if I can't figure out why only clicks on unfocused windows get grabbed then when the event is ran again xmonad would just eat it again. |
