So I decided to improve again on the work I did on the MouseFocus.app which still had some flaws. Those are fixed now. I renamed the whole thing to "AutoRaise" to better reflect what this tool does: When you hover a window it will be raised to the front (with a delay of your choosing) and gets the focus. The tool can be downloaded here. To use it, copy it to your /Applications/ folder making sure it is executable (chmod 700 AutoRaise). Then double click it from within Finder. To quickly toggle it on/off you can use the applescript below and paste it into an automator service workflow. Then bind the created service to a keyboard shortcut via System Preferences|Keyboard|Shortcuts.

更新(29-03-2017):AutoRaise二进制文件已经更新。如果命令行上没有指定delay，它现在也会在同一个主文件夹中查找autorrise .delay文件。这在使用下面的applescript时特别有用，因为“启动应用程序”不支持命令行参数。延迟应该以50ms 20ms为单位指定。例如，在一个终端上执行'echo 1 > ~/AutoRaise.delay'命令，指定延时为20ms。

on run {input, parameters}
    tell application "Finder"
        if exists of application process "AutoRaise" then
            quit application "/Applications/AutoRaise"
            display notification "AutoRaise Stopped"
        else
            launch application "/Applications/AutoRaise"
            display notification "AutoRaise Started"
        end if
    end tell
    return input
end run

更新(18-04-2019):来源https://github.com/sbmpost/AutoRaise

更新(05-06-2020):默认延迟时间被设置为2，轮询时间被缩短。这些设置可以防止快速移动鼠标(例如到达顶部菜单)时意外地弹出窗口。同时一个扭曲鼠标功能已经添加和内存泄漏已被修复。欲了解更多细节，请参阅README

Amethyst支持此特性。它可以很容易地安装与酿造安装紫水晶。

下面是我使用的配置文件。它关闭了所有的功能，除了焦点跟随鼠标。保存到~/.amethyst。

不幸的是，CodeTek虚拟桌面专业不再开发，该公司似乎已经退出业务几年前。

历史参考:http://www.codetek.com/ctvd/(不适用于新的OS X版本!)

历史回顾:http://www.osnews.com/story/6144

使用CodeTek Virtual Desktop Pro，你可以获得焦点-跟随-鼠标，并禁用自动上升，它也有一个虚拟桌面的寻呼机——类似于Fvwm在Linux上的工作方式。它运行得非常完美——这是我买过的最好的软件。 它与所有应用程序都一致，切换应用程序，将窗口移动到不同的工作区，以及导航工作区都比最新的OS X版本[10.6,10.7,10.8]要容易得多。

不幸的是，随着Mac OS X 10.5 VirtualDesktop Pro停止工作，看起来苹果积极确保CodeTek不会继续在它上面工作。

令人遗憾的是，苹果粉碎了CodeTek和它的产品——虚拟桌面专业版(Virtual Desktop Pro)真的比OS X当前实现的工作区更好。它的工作原理基本上就像LINUX上的Fvwm——超快的导航——没有不必要的点击或鼠标手势……

看到苹果规定窗口管理器(Finder)的行为，似乎不再允许第三方替换Finder，我很难过。

尝试了这些选项后，我的Command-Tab开始表现得很奇怪。以下是它如何再次关注应用程序的解决方案:

之前的一个特性，即终端的窗口焦点随着鼠标移动而改变的能力，在10.6中被打破，导致Command-Tab不能正确地转移窗口焦点。要解决这个问题，只需在终端中粘贴以下命令:

默认写com.apple.Terminal FocusFollowsMouse -string否

然后重新启动终端。

虽然这还远远不是一个完整的解决方案，但OSX(10.11)中内置了两个方便的操作:

⌃-click (control-option-click)—切换焦点而不抬高窗口

⌘-click (command-click) -在窗口中单击而不切换焦点

不确定这些快捷方式是什么时候引入的，因为我在任何地方都找不到关于它们的文章。

还有一个相关的问题是点击后提高。在OSX下，每次单击一个窗口时，它也会被引发，因此可能会隐藏其他窗口。当从两个窗口复制/粘贴时，这是有问题的，其中一个窗口覆盖了大部分屏幕。我喜欢保留一个全局记事本(在所有工作区中都是活动的)，从中复制/粘贴东西(可以是命令、文本、待办事项等任何东西)。在OSX下，这是一个挑战。如果有一个选项可以禁用“点击时提升”就好了。
