This may be some well-proven axiom in some RFC somewhere, but it
doesn't work for me. I frequently move the cursor "out of the way"
which puts it over some other (random) window. Having my keystrokes
going into the wrong window..., well, that's what this is all about
isn't it? If I put my cursor aside so that I can use the keyboard to
manipulate my application, I don't wish to be concerned about where it
has been moved aside to, I wish to keep my brain focused on the
current app without the computer deciding that the focus should
change. Yes you could argue that I moved the cursor so the computer is
doing what I ask, but I'm saying that that is not what I'm asking and
I don't wish to change this work flow habit.
