你可以在终端机上做。通过在命令行中发出以下命令来创建应用程序:

defaults write com.apple.Terminal FocusFollowsMouse -bool true

对于X11应用，你可以这样做:

defaults write com.apple.x11 wm_ffm -bool true

在Snow Leopard中，使用这个:

defaults write org.x.X11 wm_ffm -bool true

显然，有一个名为CodeTek虚拟桌面的程序可以在系统范围内模拟它，但它需要花费$$(他们从未为OSX Leopard推出过版本)。

So I decided to improve again on the work I did on the MouseFocus.app which still had some flaws. Those are fixed now. I renamed the whole thing to "AutoRaise" to better reflect what this tool does: When you hover a window it will be raised to the front (with a delay of your choosing) and gets the focus. The tool can be downloaded here. To use it, copy it to your /Applications/ folder making sure it is executable (chmod 700 AutoRaise). Then double click it from within Finder. To quickly toggle it on/off you can use the applescript below and paste it into an automator service workflow. Then bind the created service to a keyboard shortcut via System Preferences|Keyboard|Shortcuts.

更新(29-03-2017):AutoRaise二进制文件已经更新。如果命令行上没有指定delay，它现在也会在同一个主文件夹中查找autorrise .delay文件。这在使用下面的applescript时特别有用，因为“启动应用程序”不支持命令行参数。延迟应该以50ms 20ms为单位指定。例如，在一个终端上执行'echo 1 > ~/AutoRaise.delay'命令，指定延时为20ms。

on run {input, parameters}
    tell application "Finder"
        if exists of application process "AutoRaise" then
            quit application "/Applications/AutoRaise"
            display notification "AutoRaise Stopped"
        else
            launch application "/Applications/AutoRaise"
            display notification "AutoRaise Started"
        end if
    end tell
    return input
end run

更新(05-06-2020):默认延迟时间被设置为2，轮询时间被缩短。这些设置可以防止快速移动鼠标(例如到达顶部菜单)时意外地弹出窗口。同时一个扭曲鼠标功能已经添加和内存泄漏已被修复。欲了解更多细节，请参阅README

给DwellClick一个尝试。虽然这不是它的预期目的，但自动单击行为有一个类似于自动提高或焦点跟随鼠标的副作用。

就我个人而言，我只在光标移动停止后使用左键点击的功能，但也有修改器点击和窗口拖动辅助功能，这非常方便。

在浏览网页时，这也有点令人沮丧，因为你要么想要禁用应用程序，要么更注意光标停留在哪里(例如，不要停留在任何你不想激活的链接或按钮上)。

有趣的是，Leopard在默认情况下启用了一种焦点跟随鼠标(无自动提升)功能。滚轮在非聚焦窗口中工作。

Steve Yegge不久前写了一篇关于这个问题的文章，他试图写一个合适的扩展，但失败了。从那以后，我试图为OS X找到聚焦跟随鼠标的应用程序，也失败了。

Amethyst支持此特性。它可以很容易地安装与酿造安装紫水晶。

下面是我使用的配置文件。它关闭了所有的功能，除了焦点跟随鼠标。保存到~/.amethyst。
