Suggestion: make Penc operate on the window under the mouse cursor

Suggestion: make Penc operate on the window under the mouse cursor, even if that window is not active.

I think that would be a more useful default behavior, rather than operating on the active window. Or at least, consider adding an option for it.

That would be interesting, I will definitely try it out.

Hey guys, after struggling with macOS's accessibility api for almost a week, I finally managed to implement this feature. Window selection setting is added to preferences, you can update the app to v0.4.0. Love to hear your feedbacks.

[rsanchezsaez]

Thanks for doing this, that was quick!

Unfortunately, it doesn't work for me at all. If I select that option, Penc stops working. Can I send you any information to help you debug the issue?

[dgurkaynak]

Hmmm, but focused window mode is still working right? I think I will prepare a special build with improved logging and send you.

Anyone else experiencing same issue?

[rsanchezsaez]

Yeah, focused window mode still works. I've tried without connecting an external monitor, same result. I'm on macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 (17G65).

It's weird, we have same os version. I've already tried with and without external monitor, it works for me. Anyway, I will prepare a debug build and let you know @rsanchezsaez, probably in weekend. Thanks 👍

Hey @rsanchezsaez, I think I found the problem. I am using the dock with auto-hide setting on, when dock is always visible, it confuses the window selection algorithm. I assume your dock is always visible? Anyway I refined it and released 0.4.1 version. Can you please update the app and try again?

[rsanchezsaez]

@dgurkaynak Yeah, my dock is always visible. It works now, thank you very much!
