10.3: Switch Terminal window focus with mouse movement
I did'nt think that Terminal "geeks" (a positive somment - I am trying to become one myself ;-) would be using a mouse a lot.

He didn't literally mean the [>] (greater than) and [<] (less than) keys -- he meant the left & right arrows. If you go into the "Window" menu under Terminal.app, the relevant keystrokes should be indicated for you: [cmd]+[right arrow] next terminal [cmd]+[left arrow] previous terminal [cmd]+[M] minimize window to dock [cmd]+[1] go to terminal/tty 1 [cmd]+[2] go to terminal/tty 2 [cmd]+[3] go to terminal/tty 3 Etc. That last set is especially useful, particularly if you've gone into Terminal.app's "Window Settings..." option menu, then the "Window" subsection in that dialog box, and checked off "Command key" as one of the window titlebar options. If you keep your terminal windows just barely overlapping, so that the titlebars are all cascaded and you can see at least part of the left (preferably) or right margin of the window, then you can quickly see & jump to any currently open window by hitting [cmd]+[number key of that window] -- and if the window you want is currently minimized to the dock, it'll pop back onto the desktop too. Useful trick. ---

One advantage of focus follows mouse in the Terminal (and X11) is that the window with focus does not come to the foreground, so if I'm entering commands in a terminal that I don't need to see much of but one to refer to another terminal, that one stays on top, even though it's in the 'background.' To bring the window to the top, click in it.
