komorebi-for-kde/docs/ -> docs/linux/ komorebi-for-mac/docs/ -> docs/macos/ The Windows docs stay where they are (docs/). Renames only, so links and include paths that named the old directories are broken at this revision; they are fixed in the revision that fixes the paths of the whole layout move.

Focus follows mouse
With focus follows mouse, the window under the pointer is the window that has the focus: moving the pointer into another window gives that window the focus, with no click. komorebi does not do this itself. It asks KWin to, by changing KWin's own focus policy, and follows where the focus goes like it follows any other change of focus.
Turning it on and off
komorebic focus-follows-mouse turns it on or off, and komorebic toggle-focus-follows-mouse
switches it. It is off by default: KWin's focus policy is the user's own until komorebi changes
it.
komorebic focus-follows-mouse enable
komorebic focus-follows-mouse disable
komorebic toggle-focus-follows-mouse
Both take --implementation, windows (the default) or komorebi, the two that komorebi for
Windows has. On KDE they are the same: both ask KWin for its own focus policy, and which one was
asked for is only remembered, in the focus_follows_mouse of the daemon's state.
In komorebi.json
The focus_follows_mouse key of komorebi.json is
"Windows" or "Komorebi" to turn it on, which is what --implementation names, and has no value
or is left out to leave it off:
{
"focus_follows_mouse": "Windows"
}
The file sets it when the daemon starts and when the file changes, and a file that leaves it out turns it off and gives the user's focus policy back, also when it was turned on with a command.
What it does to KWin
Turning it on sets two keys in the group [Windows] of the user's kwinrc, FocusPolicy=1
("focus follows mouse") and DelayFocusInterval=0, and asks KWin to read its configuration
again. Turning it off, and exiting komorebi, put back what the user had: the value each key
had before komorebi changed it, or no value if the key was not there. A daemon that was killed
leaves the keys changed until the next run, whose exit puts them back.
The pointer follows the focus too
komorebic mouse-follows-focus is the other direction: the pointer
goes to the middle of the window that is given the focus. With both on, the pointer and the focus
stay in the same window.
