Description Daniel Franke 2004-03-28 23:07:53 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.1)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
OS:          Linux

Ever tried to switch between chat-window, editor, konsole, whatever - and actually type the correct text in the correct window? 
It would be nice to have a feature as "Focus follows eyes": that window/app gets the focus, I'm looking at.

This would be an extension of the "Focus follows mouse", "Focus on click", ... schemes.

Just an idea for KDE-6.0 ... :)

Sorry, but this is too unrealistic with the current state of things, so this wishlist really serves no function
Comment 2 Daniel Franke 2004-03-29 03:36:14 UTC
Sorry, couldn't resist ... 
Comment 3 Stephan Kulow 2004-03-29 10:51:45 UTC
the imbs is in the old building of the psychiatry or am I mixing institutes? 

Sorry, couldn't resist :)
Comment 4 Daniel Franke 2004-03-29 17:09:38 UTC
Actually we're sharing the building with them - but that doesn't imply anything *g*

Seven years later, I feel like reopening this feature request ...
