As we know, the window manager i3 provides an option to control the behavior of the mouse moving from one window to another - the focus_follows_mouse option.



I wanted to control this behavior with my keyboard, so I tried to add this in my config:



bindsym $mod+b focus_follows_mouse yes


It doesn't do anything. I tried:



bindsym $mod+n exec --no-startup-id i3-msg 'focus_follows_mouse no'


Same result.



Is there a possibility to change the value for focus_follows_mouse without changing the config everytime?



I'm using version 4.15
