-- $usage
-- To make the focus update on mouse movement within an unfocused window, add the
-- following to your @~\/.xmonad\/xmonad.hs@:
--
-- > import XMonad.Actions.UpdateFocus
-- > xmonad $ defaultConfig {
-- >   ..
-- >   startupHook = adjustEventInput
-- >   handleEventHook = focusOnMouseMove
-- >   ..
-- > }
--
-- This module is probably only useful when focusFollowsMouse is set to True(default).

-- | Changes the focus if the mouse is moved within an unfocused window.
