Right chaps,
way back in a career a long time ago I used to do CAD/CAM on a Sun Solaris which was using some variant of Unix. One of the things i used to love about it was that when I placed the mouse over a window, it would 'activate' the window and I could type, click buttons or whatever straight away. ie I wouldn't have to mouse-over, click in the window to activate and then do whatever.
I have just moved over from Windows and whilst I am very happy with OS X so far, its just one thing that I would really like to be able to do, especially as i switch often between IM chat windows and Firefox windows. ie I have to click on Firefox to activate the window, then click a link to follow it, or type in a text box...
Can this be done in OS X, if so, what am I missing because I have hunted high and low on the net, and on the system prefs to get this to work.
Any help gratefully received.
cheers
