Will try my hand at it. Code will probably look really clunky. :)

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?
