Windows 10 cursor behavior issue (mac user)

#1

I am having issues with my cursor in documents running sublime text 3 in windows 10

Coming from mac OS X I would be on a webpage or another file and if I clicked back to the document I was working on the cursor would STAY in position until I clicked on the window a second time.

In windows it does not do this, it will just move the cursor to where I clicked my mouse, and this is very frustrating.

Especially when working with 5 documents and you need to have the cursor be at the last spot you were editing or you have to move the cursor to exactly where you need it to be, where in mac you would just click the window that was in the background and I never had to replace my cursor position.

Is there any plugin or solution for me?

This has nothing to do with sublime, it is a difference between window managers. My suggested solution would be start using alt-tab to change windows rather than clicking.

Alternatively, click the header/title bar of the application instead of the middle. That brings focus to it without clicking inside the file.
