I use mouse wheel scroll on two panes. In order to focus one pane, I must first click to focus it, then scroll.

Is there a way to focus upon mouse moving? This is also known as Focus follow mouse in i3wm.

In GVim there are set mousefocus and set scrollfocus (only Windows GVim 8.1.2257 or later).

mousefocus automatically activates window so it gets both mouse and keyboard input; scrollfocus only allows scrolling window under mouse cursor without activating it.

For Neovim it seems to work out-of-the-box (as if set scrollfocus).

    On Windows, you also need to :set scrollfocus, but this needs a relative recent Vim 8.1.2257

  • @ChristianBrabandt Not exactly. They both can be used independently. I'll update my answer.
