[PD] One click too many on macOS

[Dan Wilcox]

Ah ok, I misunderstood. What I was referring to was *very* buggy behavior such as creating a bang with the key binding creates two bangs...

What you're talking about is the fact that macOS does not have "focus follows mouse", which it sounds like you are used to. Yes, clicking to focus the window is normal. You can hover over an unfocused window and scroll it but not click in without the initial focus click.

I'd suggest using CMD+` to cycle the currently active app's windows.
