How to prevent click on focus in client area ?

[J. Bakshi-3]

Hello list,

Hope you all are well and doing well. I am seeking some help on icewm focus management and here with hope :-)

Sometime I need to copy codes from web-browser to the console located just next. But clicking on the browser focuses it and I need to focus the console again. I can remember in the old days with kde I could prevent the focusing and it only focused after clicking on the menu-bar. Can I do same here in icewm ? I have done some experiment with IceWM GUI icewm configuration tool but it is not successful. May be I missed something !!! Any clue ?

Thanks

There are a bunch of preferences you can set in the preferences file in the
~/.icewm directory:

  Focus windows by clicking
# ClickToFocus=1 # 0/1

#  Focus windows when application requests to raise
FocusOnAppRaise=1 # 0/1

#  Request focus (flashing in taskbar) when application requests raise
# RequestFocusOnAppRaise=1 # 0/1

#  Raise windows when focused
RaiseOnFocus=1 # 0/1

#  Focus window when client area clicked
FocusOnClickClient=1 # 0/1

#  Raise window when client area clicked
RaiseOnClickClient=1 # 0/1

#  Raise window when title bar is clicked
RaiseOnClickTitleBar=1 # 0/1

#  Raise window when frame button is clicked
RaiseOnClickButton=1 # 0/1

#  Raise window when frame border is clicked
RaiseOnClickFrame=1 # 0/1

#  Lower the active window when clicked again
# LowerOnClickWhenRaised=0 # 0/1

#  Pass focusing click on client area to client
# PassFirstClickToClient=1 # 0/1

#  Change to the workspace of newly focused windows
# FocusChangesWorkspace=0 # 0/1

#  Focus normal window when initially mapped
# FocusOnMap=1 # 0/1

#  Focus dialog window when initially mapped
# FocusOnMapTransient=0 # 0/1

#  Focus dialog window when initially mapped only if parent frame focused
# FocusOnMapTransientActive=1 # 0/1

That's just some of them. I'm sure you'll find what you need in there
somewhere.

Thanks Frank,

I'll experiment with the option you have mentioned here.

Hello Frank,

I have solved it with

`````````
# Bitmask of buttons that raise the window when pressed
ButtonRaiseMask=4
`````````````

When I click on a window with left mouse button then only it focused. Hence I can keep my other terminal open and can copy from with out focusing them. If someone has any better/other idea please post here.

cheers.
