There are some things you can do to a non active window without giving the non active window the focus. Examples: * Right clicking on the title opens the contextmenu without giving the window the focus. * Within KDE (gnome maybe as well) you can customize the mouse buttons to do similar things like bringing the window on top or resizing the window (the app has to know about this) - still without giving this window the focus. Moving the cursor over firefox (firefox just as an example) ist not the problem - but I would like to avoid moving the cursor back to kwrite (again kwrite just as an example) and clicking within kwrite to get the focus back to resume typing.
