General :: Where To Switch Window Focus By Moving Mouse Over (in Fedora / Gnome)?
Oct 18, 2010I am using Fedora11/Gnome and I frequently use several windows for input. I would like to focus on a window just by moving the mouse over it (but not pop up). However, I can not find anywhere to set up this option.

Jan 26, 2011I recall a partner in a CS class who changed my setup to focus a window on mouse over and that was really handy for programming with a ton of terminals open. I've seen Dwell Click under accessibility options, but that doesn't seem to do anything. I know that sometimes the GUI control applets have features undisabled that don't really do anything (i.e. WINS) if you don't have the right stuff installed. How do I get mouse over pretty much just simulate clicking the window.
View 1 Replies View RelatedDebian Multimedia :: Focus Is Trapped And Left Mouse Click Doesn't Transfer Focus?
Aug 9, 2011I'm hit with a very annoying bug: mouse clicks do not give focus anymore, focus stays trapped and sometimes right clicking the element that last had focus allows the next left click to move focus. I'm running wheezy with kde. Searching the web it I found no solution but it seems my problem is close to what is reported there:e issue: after alt+tab the window decoration changes as if the focus had moved to the new window but it stays trapped in the previous window. Rebooting does not fix the issue.I have nvidia graphics set up with dual screen through the nvidia drivers but this setup has been working good for several months, so I don't think it's related.

View 5 Replies View RelatedFedora :: Openoffice.org Ignores Compiz Settings For Mouse Focus?
Jun 4, 2010Openoffice.org apparently ignores the window manager altogether for questions of focus. This combined with opening lots of little dialogs and menus is making it almost unusable. (Over at openoffice.org, this has been answered with (essentially) "I use click to focus, so raising on focus is normal, so I'm putting at the lowest possible priority because it has nothing to do with usability.") The problem is that I use focus following the mouse, with click to raise. This is very convenient for copying between two windows and saves me a lot of time and energy, as I have to do this quite often. Current behavior, however, causes Openoffice.org to raise any window you happen to pass over, thus hiding the floating toolbar or dialog box that you were trying to click on. Worse, as the window you brushed by has gained focus, in most cases, the toolbar or dialog disappears entirely. The only solution is to move everything around so as to have a path to get to your toolbar/dialog without touching another window, or to minimize all but one openoffice document. Is there anyway to make Openoffice.org usable with this setting?

Also, can I save the position of the terminal in compiz? I don't want to adjust the terminal positions manually after each logging in.

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Focus Follows Mouse With Natty And Gnome2?
Jul 5, 2011I'm using the ubuntu-classic + compiz desktop with 11.04. However, compared to older versions the behaviour of focus-follows-mouse seems to have changed for the worse when using the keyboard to switch applications. In older versions, an app selected using alt-tab or scale or similar keyboard method would get focus, even if the mouse was not over it. Focus follows-mouse behaviour would only happen again if you moved the mouse to a new app. In 11.04, the app selected using alt-tab immediately loses focus if the mouse is not over it. This makes alt-tab kinda useless Is there any way I can fix this behaviour to the pre-11.04 version?

Ubuntu :: Small Area Of The Screen Grabs Focus Doesn't Let Any Window Receive Mouse Actions
Jul 4, 2011One of those things that make yo go "WTF?" After browsing the internet with Firefox, there appears a peculiar problem: if I move the pointer to a certain area of the screen, I can't click (left, right, middle) nor use mouse wheel. The area can be of variable size, but usually it's small, in the lower part of the screen, it's x dimension greater than y one (a horizontally placed rectangle). The problem doesn't go away when I restart Firefox (obviously it does when I reboot). It obstructs any window under it (I can't even click on the desktop where 'it' is). It's as if there is an invisible window that 'steals' focus when I move the mouse over it. I'm on 11.04, Classic Ubuntu (Gnome 2.3x).
A quick UPDATE: dragging an icon and dropping it on the said area behaves as if I dragged an item and dropped it where it doesn't belong (i.e. it just slowly returns to it's original position). Also, I tried killing it with Force Quit applet, but only my desktop reloaded.

Hardware :: Change Mouse In Fedora 14?
Jan 25, 2011I recently installed Fedora 14 to set up a Samba server to replace my old FC3 Samba server.
When I installed Fedora 14, I used an older three button Logitech PS-2 mouse. After the successful installation, I found an older Microsoft PS-2 mouse with a mouse wheel, and substituted it for the Logitech. The mouse is connected through an older Linksys KVM switch.
While the Logitech mouse works perfectly, the MS mouse is unusable. The cursor flies around the screen and opens random windows and programs. Obviously, the wrong driver is loaded for this mouse.
I have a lot of experience with FC3, but almost none with Fedora 14. So much has changed, that I have no idea where to go to make the necessary change(s). Doing a Google search is hard because most responses either relate to curors or other Linux distributions.

View 7 Replies View RelatedFedora :: X Server - Gnome Screen Saver Cuts In And The System Remains 'as Is' Until 'woken Up' With The Mouse Or Keyboard
Dec 2, 2009If I remain 'connected' (with the KVM) to the linux machine the gnome screen saver cuts in and the system remains 'as is' until 'woken up' with the mouse or keyboard. However, if I switch to another machine using the KVM, within a short time (maybe even minute or two) the linux machine goes dead. Now it has not crashed, as I can log in from a remote machine and do anything I need from a terminal, but the machine seems not to respond. I can't even use ctrl-alt-fn to switch to a console screen.
I initially tried entering telinit 3 from a remote machine but it made no apparent difference. However, if after telinit 3 I then killed the Xorg process and later issued a telinit 5 the X server restarted, but with a curious black 'notch' at the top of the screen. I am using an NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GS graphics card. I am now adding the backtrace from Xorg.0.log. It seems that when the KVM switches to another machine for more than a very short time the X server crashes.

Jun 28, 2011I'm slowly coming to terms with Gnome 3 but one thing I can't get used to is using the "Windows Key".
For me it's a difficult key to use regularly. What I'd rather to is remap the "Switch between overview and desktop" action to alt-space, which I am used to from "Launchy" which I have been using in Windows for some time.
A couple of issues though - this is already mapping to "Activate the window menu". I never use it though. Are there any implications of remaping it?
Secondly, what is the command I need to map the key to, in order to emulate the Gnome 3 "Windows Key" behaviour?
