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?

Many times I find it useful to give focus to a field by just moving the 
mouse, without needing a mouse click.

If you prefer the more conventional 'click-to-focus' behavior, just 
evaluate:

     Preferences disable: #focusFollowsMouse

Maybe it could be useful to have this (and maybe others) accessible from 
the World / Preferences menu. Feel free to implement it, and publish the 
code (mail attach, Git pull request, any means is ok).

Cheers,
