Description Daniel Hahler 2005-08-16 23:54:32 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.2)
Installed from:    Unlisted Binary Package

I have "Focus Follows Mouse" focus policy set in the Control Center (Desktop / Window Behaviour).
"Auto raise" is deactivated and delay focus set to 500ms. I also have disabled "Click raise active window".

What I'd like to see is "Middle mouse click raises active window". This way I could left click into a window (text field or something like that), without bringing the window to top, but would be able to middle-click and raise the window.

I think it might be a good a idea, to change the existing option "Click raise active window" to a drop down field with the following options:
"None" (same as deactivating the current checkbox)
"Any" (same as activating the current checkbox)
"Left"
"Middle"
"Right"

Don't know though, if it should provide combinations like "Left/Middle" or "Middle/Right" to raise the window.
The it should be probably three checkboxes, that allow enabling of the raise functionality for each mouse button seperately.

I would love to see this feature, too. I am waiting for this to get implementet for years. 
How about adding Dbclick as an raising option? I would perfer middle click, personaly though.
If someone will be taking the time to implement this, could also look at this whish: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43583
