I grew up using MS Windows, the beast that made "click for focus" the
defacto disaster it is today.  Not everyone is willing to change how they
work, but a few years ago I got a tendonitis that *really* made me notice
that I was doing, literally, hundreds upon hundreds, of extra clicks every
day for no other purpose than reassigning keyboard focus, which, as you
know, have to even be "strategic clicks" (window title bars, borders, etc.)
to avoid suffering unwanted selection change, otherwise having to click yet
again just to "get back" to what I as looking at.  Not only the pain, but I
realized what a total time sink it was.  The only way to escape was I had
to be willing to change, which actually turned out a lot easier than I
thought...
