Command clicking would work just as easily (it requires changing all

(in my opinion) more useful feature: selecting individual items in a

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.

I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but wouldn't it be easier to
just move to the platform you are trying to emulate than to change the
behavior of a platform with different design goals?
I might add that hacking things so that a window doesn't have to be
active for it to be, um, active violates assumptions that the
underlying code may have about the relationship between active windows
and the models they present. Which is to say, you will find that
applications won't behave as you expect if you change the windowing
model to something the applications don't expect, making all your
efforts pointless.
