I'm interested in allowing this regardless of window type.
Anyway I would recommend against breaking the option click behavior
currently defined for Mac OS X. Doing so is going against the Apple
HIGs and bypasses a feature that folks are rather used to using. What
about using command clicking instead since that better aligns with
what is already done.
Command clicking would work just as easily (it requires changing all of
one constant I believe). The problem is that command clicking has a (in
my opinion) more useful feature: selecting individual items in a list.
Control was similarly ruled out for it's behavior as right click. (Why
can't Apple just ship 3 button mice like the rest of the world?) I
could get exotic and require multiple buttons. The goal is to
eventually have this customizable, but right now, I'd like to just get
the core set of features (there aren't that many after all) working
first.
Another related issue is how can I respond to a click in a window and
make that window not be brought to the front when both windows are in
the same application. Allowing this would be better than nothing.
