How to bring back "sloppy focus" in Ubuntu 19.04

  • 772

"Sloppy focus" is such a great productivity helper but Ubuntu 19.04 seems to have removed it.

The new "focus on hover" option (available from gnome tweak) means if I Alt-Tab to another app but my mouse is still over the old window then the old window immediately receives focus again - so Alt-Tab becomes useless!

Is there some way to get the previous behaviour back?

    It's available in gnome-tweaks.

    sudo apt install gnome-tweaks

    Then run

    gnome-tweaks

    Go to "Windows" -> "Window focus"

    gnome-tweaks

    and you're probably looking for "Secondary-Click" option.
