Summary

Work in progress toward a user preference that would allow Blender
windows (on the Windows platform) to auto-raise and auto-focus on
hover.


Some users would prefer that multiple blender windows would auto-raise and auto-focus as is found on many Linux distributions. This would allow you to directly enter values, use hotkeys, etc without having to first click on the caption of the window.

Note that although some users would love this, many would hate it. It is non-standard behavior so it should be OFF by default and optionally enabled in Properties.

Note that this patch as it is right now does not have a user preference for this, it is just enabled all the time. But this allows for testing.

The above shows moving the object with "g", then making changes to the position using floating windows without having to first make them active, then moving the object again by pressing "g"

Adding a GHOST_SetAutoFocus to turn this off and on. Currently always on though.

No need for this. Win32 multi-window input is working very well now.
