Haven’t done one of these in a long while. Have a few more lined up in my mind.

Move Focus With Your Mouse or Trackball Pointer

AutoRaise (and focus) a window when hovering over it with the mouse

I came across a little utility which lets you bring windows to the front by moving your mouse/trackball pointer to any part of that window. Works beautifully and is perfect for those of you who are fond of navigation with the mouse/trackball.

The preferences are extensive and you can tweak the program to do what you want.

Copy URL’s From Browser

Hyperlink

This is a menubar app which grabs the URL from your browser tab and puts it in the clipboard. A keyboard command and the URL is in your clipboard. Useful and well-designed.

I was amazed by how well-designed and presented the preferences for this little utility was. Great work.

Both utilities are heartily recommended.
