Version: 2.1 (using KDE 3.1.0) Installed from: Mandrake Linux Cooker i586 - Cooker Compiler: gcc version 3.2.2 (Mandrake Linux 9.1 3.2.2-3mdk) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.21-0.13mdksecure This is a usability request: I think it would be nice if kate and konqueror MDI windows - and MDI windows in general - honoured the window manager focus policy. For example, I use "focus-follows-mouse", and it would be nice if the Kate integrated terminal received focus when I moved the mouse over it. At the moment, all MDI windows use "click-to-focus".
I fully agree with this proposal. Kate is really enjoyable, I use it everyday, but this is the only thing driving me nuts.
Ouch..It is a whole year old already, and "unconfirmed"... This is really annoying, folks. Let us see this fixed - although it is listed as a "enhancement", anyone working with a focus-follow-mouse policy will tell it is a fix soon!
In kate in particular, I would like to see an option to enable 'focus follows mouse' when one is using a split window mode. I am always typing in the wrong window, as every other application I use honours this =p
Wow, this bug is older than I miss focus follows mouse in kate... PLEEAASE can anybody do s.th. about it. Btw: Is this a bug in kate or in QT?

No other KDE application has such focus behavior (even if enabled for the windows) and if there is no Qt wide way to change to such a behavior (which there isn't) we won't implement this, sorry. If you want that, please report bug to Qt to have keyboard focus follow mouse. See: http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qt.html#FocusPolicy-enum No way to set such a focus policy.
