+;;; Commentary:
+
+;; Mouse Follows Focus
+;; ===================
+;;
+;; Traditional window managers are mouse-centric: the window to receive
+;; input is usually selected with the pointing device.
+;;
+;; Emacs is keybord-centric: the window to receive key input is usually
+;; selected with the keyboard. When you use the keyboard to focus a
+;; window, the spatial relationship between pointer and active window is
+;; broken -- the pointer can be anywhere on the screen, instead of over
+;; the active window, which can make it hard to find.
+;;
+;; The same problem also exists in traditional windowing systems when
+;; you use the keyboard to switch windows, e.g. with Alt-Tab.
+;;
+;; Because Emacs’ model is inverted, this suggests that the correct
+;; behavior is also the inverse -- instead of using the mouse to
+;; select a window to receive keyboard input, the keyboard should be
+;; used to select the window to receive mouse input.
+;;
+;; `EXWM-MFF-MODE' is a global minor mode which does exactly this.
+;; When the selected window in Emacs changes, the mouse pointer is
+;; moved to its center, unless the pointer is already somewhere inside
+;; the window’s bounds. While it's especially helpful for for EXWM
+;; users, it works for any Emacs window in a graphical session.
+;;
+;; This package also offers the `EXWM-MFF-WARP-TO-SELECTED' command,
+;; which allows you to summon the pointer with a hotkey. Unlike the
+;; minor mode, summoning is unconditional, and will place the pointer in
+;; the center of the window even if it already resides within its bounds
+;; -- a handy feature if you’ve lost your pointer, even if you’re using
+;; the minor mode.
+;;
+;;
+;; Limitations
+;; ~~~~~~~~~~~
+;;
+;; None known at this time.
