== Mouse Follows Focus An OS X utility for multi-display setups: moves the mouse cursor to the currently active display when switching between applications. Limitations: * OSX offers no means of tracking the active _window_ (aka the "key window"), only the active application. As a result there's a lot of manual checking and guesswork to determine the key window once we know the frontmost app. Additionally we can't currently detect when window focus changes _within_ an app. Yes, that's annoying. * A few interaction sequences may not quite work yet; e.g. when launching an application on a separate display. * There's lots more to do. Check the top of AppDelegate.m for a list. Martin Dittus, 2013 @dekstop == Installation Get the source here: https://github.com/dekstop/MouseFollowsFocus Compile, run. Only tested with Xcode 4.6 on OS X 10.8 == Troubleshooting: Access for Assistive Devices Make sure to enable "Access for Assistive Devices" in your system preferences, otherwise we won't be able to access information about other applications. In OS X 10.9 Mavericks: * System Settings > Security & Privacy > Privacy Tab > Accessibility * Allow access for MouseFollowsFocus * Restart the MouseFollowsFocus application == See Also Found these after I started this project: MouseWarp (cheap), http://macendeavor.com/mousewarp/ App Switch (free), https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/app-switch/id564156701?ls=1&mt=12
