Nope, sorry. Command lines are never "inactive" unless you right-click on the window and remove the command line in the Window Options submenu. Otherwise you can always click any command line and use it, so I'm not sure what you mean by a command line that is "inactive".

It's the case when using two mud windows.
I toggle between them using CTRL+TAB to insert commands and while paying attention to the text on both windows I forget which window has the focus.
Now, say I want to insert commands to the left window. I have two choices in determining where the cursor is:
1. either lift the hand off the keyboard, grab the mouse, click the left window, abandon mouse and put the hand back on keyboard, or
2. wait to see on which command line the cursor is blinking to decide if I am on the left window already and if not then use CTRL+TAB to switch from the right window to the left one
Personally I consider both options time consuming (half a second, maximum one full second  ).
I think that a welcomed feature would be to have the inactive command line colored differently (e.g. grayed out).
This way I can see (even with the peripheral vision while reading text on the mud windows) which window (command line) has the focus (i.e. the whiteness of the active command line will bump up into the retina compared to the grayed out nuance of the other inactive command line).
Am I the only one who feels the need of this feature? |
