La política de focus s' usa per a determinar la finestra activa, la finestra en la que podeu treballar. Clic al focus: Una finestra s' activa quan hi cliqueu. Aquest és el comportament que potser coneixeu d' altres sistemes operatius. Focus al ratolí: En moure l' apuntador del ratolí damunt d' una finestra normal, aquesta s' activa. Les finestres noves rebran el focus, sense que hi hàgiu d' apuntar el ratolí explícitament. Molt pràctic si feu servir molt el ratolí. Focus sota el ratolí La finestra que està a sota del ratolí esdevé activa. Si el ratolí no apunta enlloc, la darrera finestra que ha estat sota l' apuntador del ratolí té el focus. Les finestres noves no rebran el focus automàticament. Focus estrictament sota el ratolí: Només està activa la finestra sota l' apuntador del ratolí. Si l' apuntador no apunta enlloc, no hi ha focus. Tingueu present que 'Focus sota el ratolí' i 'Focus estrictament sota el ratolí' impedeixen que funcionin correctament certes característiques com ara el diàleg Alt+Tab de recórrer les finestres en el mode KDE.
The focus policy is used to determine the active window, i. e. the window you can work in. Click to focus: A window becomes active when you click into it. This is the behavior you might know from other operating systems. Focus follows mouse: Moving the mouse pointer actively on to a normal window activates it. New windows will receive the focus, without you having to point the mouse at them explicitly. Very practical if you are using the mouse a lot. Focus under mouse: The window that happens to be under the mouse pointer is active. If the mouse points nowhere, the last window that was under the mouse has focus. New windows will not automatically receive the focus. Focus strictly under mouse: Only the window under the mouse pointer is active. If the mouse points nowhere, nothing has focus. Note that'Focus under mouse 'and'Focus strictly under mouse' prevent certain features such as the Alt+Tab walk through windows dialog in the KDE mode from working properly.
