Setting focus to a chart window by hovering over it

Hello Sierra Chart team,

To my knowledge, there is currently no option to automatically set focus to a chart window by hovering the mouse over it.

Now that Sierra Chart has its own window management system, I would like to suggest adding a "focus-follows-mouse" option. This would, for me, be particularly helpful when quickly adjusting settings across multiple charts.

Thank you for making such excellent software that even minor workflow details like this are worth considering.

Best regards,

This is possible, whether Sierra Chart has its own window management or not.

We will make a note of this but we do not know when we can get to it.

The higher priority, is supporting Chartbooks in their own window.
