Re Linux: I doubt it's possible to do so on Wayland, but I'm not sure about X11. |

Currently
focus-follows-mouse
only works for focusing different splits within a single window/tab.ghostty.org/docs/config/reference#focus-follows-mouse
For some use-cases it would be nice to be able to set
focus-follows-mouse
to also work between Ghostty windows, for ex. a window on the left and a window on the right.Maybe something like:
focus-follows-mouse = < splits | windows | all | false >
There are some Mac utilities that might enable window-based focus follow for all apps, but I'd want to enable it specifically for Ghostty.
For reference, Mac's Terminal.app currently provides window-based focus follow:
defaults write com.apple.Terminal FocusFollowsMouse -bool YES
My Q is specifically about Mac but may apply to Linux also. I'm aware Linux has long had the option to enable global focus follows mouse between windows. I don't know if it's possible to control this at the app level on Linux, not educated well enough on this topic on Linux OS's.
