Don't handle mouse clicks without focus

[nixpulvis]

I often click carelessly on a window to bring it into focus; I suspect this is somewhat common though I suppose I could just be overly impulsive with my window management these days. My patience has run thin.

Anyway, I think it would make sense to either:

1. Disallow click handling without focus
2. Change the cursor to a hand

Seeing a pointer, proceeding to click, then being launched into a browser is somewhat surprising.

when you click, the focus is usually transferred to the window and then click happens, so pretty much impossible to solve unless you do that on purpose with heuristics, but it's just bad.

I feared that. What's stopping us from changing the cursor to a hand?

[kchibisov]

On which platform do you see this? And do you use modifiers? In general, nothing stops us from doing so, but some platforms may disallow cursor change.

I'm on macOS at the moment. I don't have it setup to require modifiers for the URL clicks, but that's a good idea to mitigate my issue.

I think Alacritty might have actually done what you ask for in the past, but this was changed in winit a century ago iirc.

The thing that was changed is click pass through, but there's an option for that on macOS. But on other platforms there's no such thing. Not sure why cursor isn't changing though.
