<p><h1>Window Behavior</h1> Here you can customize the way windows behave when being moved, resized or clicked on. You can also specify a focus policy as well as a placement policy for new windows.</p> <p>Please note that this configuration will not take effect if you do not use KWin as your window manager. If you do use a different window manager, please refer to its documentation for how to customize window behavior.</p>

Wheel

In this row you can customize behavior when scrolling into an inactive inner window ('inner' means: not titlebar, not frame).

Activate & Scroll

Activate, Raise & Scroll

The focus policy is used to determine the active window, i.e. the window you can work in. <ul> <li><em>Click to focus:</em> A window becomes active when you click into it. This is the behavior you might know from other operating systems.</li> <li><em>Focus follows mouse:</em> Moving the mouse pointer actively on to a normal window activates it. New windows will receive the focus, without you having to point the mouse at them explicitly. Very practical if you are using the mouse a lot.</li> <li><em>Focus under mouse:</em> The window that happens to be under the mouse pointer is active. If the mouse points nowhere, the last window that was under the mouse has focus. New windows will not automatically receive the focus.</li> <li><em>Focus strictly under mouse:</em> Only the window under the mouse pointer is active. If the mouse points nowhere, nothing has focus.</li> </ul>Note that 'Focus under mouse' and 'Focus strictly under mouse' prevent certain features such as the Alt+Tab walk through windows dialog in the KDE mode from working properly.
