I don't mind something that requires a modifier key like Shift+click to follow a URL

But so many times now I'll click to get focus and now that's selected some option or opened some pane.

If I wanted that, I'd use the Claude Desktop app!

As a total side tangent, but I really like the following flow: focus follows mouse but focus doesn't raise the window, clicking on the top bar, or Win+Click raises it (notice how neither of these 2 results in an interaction).

Unfortunately, of the popular DE's, this is only supported in Xfce (?), and it's not supported in Windows or macOS afaik.

		tmux has that these days and it’s great if you have a big monitor with a lot of panes, just move the mouse to focus.
