Blender problem with windows management

hello

i work with three monitors, and 3 different windows of blender, when i move my mouse cursor from a first window to another, i need to click on the window first before any input could work, instead of hover my cursor over the window…

for example:
-window 1 node edito
-window 2 3d edito
-i want to move my mouse from the shader editor to the 3d view to select another object, instead of clicking one time to the desired object i need to click two time because the first click is to tell blender that i dont work anymore on the first windows but on the second one, and the second click is for my selection …

its a really small problem but really annoying, in 2.79, to avoid this problem i just needed to make one large blender windows that take all of my three screens… but i can’t do that anymore because of the active tool header …

im on windows 10, i dont know if its like that with other OS …

how to avoid this extra click?
any ideas? change something in blender pref? change something in windows?

thanks

Maybe you can use WinAero Tweaker and use the XMouse option to track (soft focus) a window without bringing it infront of other windows. It allows a minimum of 100ms hover delay before tracking is activated, which is enough for most cases.

The alternative is to use Windows’ built-in function from the Ease of Access Center, which is horrible in comparison.
