Here’s another one— click through on macOS. Coming from other systems I find it infuriating. Not just the click though itself but its inconsistency, where it works in browsers and some other selected programs but not in most.
For those not aware, click through is when you’re focused on another window and click on this one. With click through, it will immediately action what you click without you have to click first to the window then click again. This isn’t inherently inferior, but I really don’t like it personally. And it is absolutely impossible to change this behavior on MacOS by any means. Believe me, I researched this extensively.
There is an app I found that will autofocus the app you hover over so it takes away that extra click you have to do — effectively making a click through. It worked, but I found it felt a little weird just often enough that I turned it off.
But I agree I wish there was an option to click through.
