[Cuis] Two questions

[Casey Ransberger]

On a useless cellphone right now. IIRC, you can do something like

Preferences explore

This should give you a view into the preferences object. I think you should be looking to disable (set to false) something like 'focusFollowsMouse' but again, I can't look right now. 

Hopefully I haven't led you too far astray here, but I think it's in there. If you don't find it, bug me again and I'll figure it out for sure.

I find that more often than not, when I highlight text from one workspace or from a browser window and look to copy into a workspace or inspector, I move the arrow out of the way to focus on what I am typing but therefore end up typing or deleting in some other window because that window is not automatically brought to the front by the pointer. Is there a way I can change this default behaviour?
