Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Focus follows mouse is a feature that let the user focus a window by simply hovering it with the cursor instead of having to click somewhere in it. Most tiling windows managers have this feature.

Describe the solution you'd like
The window manager should have a toggle to enable the feature.

Describe alternatives you've considered
There are probably alternatives app that just do that but it should def be part of the window manager.

This has been implemented natively in windows under accessibility settings, with the shortcoming that there is a short delay before a window is focused.

@JSGRD22 could you send an image of the settings, please?

Note that there is a delay of almost 1 second before a new window is focused. It makes the experience less smooth than focus follows cursor on linux, but could be necessary due to the different ways windows handles window focusing

I'm using another WM rn so it's not gonna affect me but I still think that even if other tools can do it, it should still be a part of Seelen directly. I can close it but someone will probably ask for the same thing at some point.
