Help:MouseFocusExample

From Openbox

Jump to: navigation, search

The following is an example rc.xml (which would be placed in ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml for people who use focus-follows-mouse. The default configuration is geared towards a click-to-focus model. If you use focus-follows-mouse, this example may be helpful fo setting up your bindings, or you could use it as a template and edit it to your liking.

Note that it removes the Raise action when clicking in the Client context, and moves the Raise action from the Alt-Click Press to Click context, so that windows can be moved without being raised.
