Suggestion to have click-through as a per widget option on all platforms

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      Qt's TextEdit.app does click-through on all its widgets, in comparison
      with Apple's TextEdit.app, which doesn't support click-through on its
      text field. There's a section on it in Apple Human Interface
      Guidelines[1]. And Qt seems to already support Command-clicking in
      order to click-through the widgets without activating the application.

      From what I've read this setting should be available per-widget, and
      not only on Mac, but on Windows too, because Microsoft Word 2000 and
      Excel 2000 don't support click-through[2]. So probably it could be
      helpful to implement this feature not only on Mac OS X, but on all
      supported platforms.
