Firstly, a big thankyou to Freddie for some awesome software. My question is a nice simple one, is there a way to make the window under the mouse cursor automatically take focus? at present I am using 3 accounts with PIP, and sometimes if I want to quickly hit a buff or something on one the secondary windows I need to click in, buff, and click back to main window. Was hoping there might be a way to have it automatically focus on whatever window is currently under the mouse point.

thanks.

This is what I use:


<Hotkey F12>
<SendPC Local>
<SetActiveWindowTracking Toggle>

So according to the documentation there, this setting actually uses an operating system based change to have active window, rather than just an application based method, which i guess makes sense given that each of the WOW windows is not really encapsulated within the hotkey application itself, but just moved around and resized. So the next question is, how can i make active window tracking only be in effect when using wow? The best option i figured thus far is to turn the setting on within my initial load WOW/rename/resize code, and then somehow make a shutdown WOW instances/turn off active window tracking code and use that to shutdown.

I'm not sure what you're asking for. It's not clear to me what "using wow" means exactly. If Wow is in the foreground and you slide the mouse over a non-WoW window in the background, do you want the background window to become active? Or do you mean that you only want WoW windows to become active from mouse movement? Or do you mean that set active window tracking should shut off when WoW is not in the foreground? Or that it should shut off when WoW is not running?

Let's forget HotkeyNet for the moment. How would you like this to work?
