Yabai focus is slow or non-existent in some scenarios

[alber70g]

I'm using the following config for focus:

yabai -m config mouse_follows_focus           on           # on, off
yabai -m config focus_follows_mouse           autoraise    # off, autoraise, autofocus

When switching my mouse to another window it should get focus. However, most of the time, when I move the cursor and stop, while hovering over the window, it doesn't focus until I move the cursor only a tiny bit.

I've added a video to demonstrate this

focus-yabai.mov

I'd like it to be instant, or at least focus without having to move sloowwly or re-move to get focus. It used to be better, as I remember.

This seems to be caused by some kind of mouse acceleration interference or something. yabai is reacting to mouse_moved events, and looking at event logs, the cursor is actually moving after yabai has received the last mouse_moved event that it can react to.

Closing as not fixable.

Nvm.. you are correct. This is caused by the logic implemented to try and reduce the number of events we respond to:

    uint64_t event_time = CGEventGetTimestamp(context);
    float dt = ((float) event_time - g_mouse_state.last_moved_time) * (1.0f / 1E6);
    if (dt < 25.0f) goto out;

I have looked at cpu usage with and without and the difference is very small, so I will remove this in favor of increased responsiveness.
