Coding Snacks / Re: Single click focus, double click bring to front

« on: May 23, 2013, 10:16 AM »

Still looking for someone to code this. Anyone...? Is it really THAT hard on Windows? I am more than willing to pay someone for their time to make this happen. Thanks!

I've searched high and low for one unsuccessfully. If you can find the name of the app, I would really appreciate it!

Or... anyone want to code it? Please?

Anyone...? Anyone...? Is there a technical reason as to why this is difficult? I'm happy to pay someone who knows what he/she is doing to code this utility.

Anyone...?

After giving them a try, I'd prefer a utility that does the original request:

   1. Single Click makes a window active, but does not bring it to the front

   2. Double Click makes a window active and brings it to the front.

Anyone up for a project? :-)

TopmostToggle definitely helps. Thanks for the tip!

The single-click to focus, double click to front from the Amiga would fit my needs better (you can set up just how you want the various windows, then bounce around easily between multiples moving them forwards and back), but this is still a big step forward. I'll give Katmouse a look shortly as well. Thanks, again.

To be clear, the window in back is partially visible behind the window in front (as in not completely covered).  The most important thing is, I want to be able to copy information either to or from that window. However, in short, I would like it to do everything a front window does, but without forcing itself to the front. Right now, as soon as a partially covered window is clicked on, it becomes active and jumps to the front, covering the window that is most important for me in doing my work. I hope this makes sense.

I would also VERY much like to have a utility like this!

The ability to click once for focus, twice to bring the focused window to the front was a favorite feature of mine on the Commodore Amiga. It's wonderful! Now, here it is, over 20 years later and that great feature has not yet made it to the Windows world. I would gladly make a donation to anyone who has the know-how to code this gem.

Thank you!
