> Sorry, I cannot parse that.

In other words, to demonstrate to you, 
how the desired and expected behavior 
is configured, for example, for the
Terminal app, I found and quoted what
was needed to tell the window manager
what to do.

Also, not for use with the NS port,
but x11 to a remote GNU Linux GNU Emacs,
XQuartz’s X11 Preferences has a tick box
for `Focus Follows Mouse`.

I am asking for this behavior for the mouse
on the NS port’s outer most windowing framing
boxes with the horizontal traffic lights at
the upper most left most corner. In use, I half full screen
zoom two of those, arranged left and right, in the window manager.

The mouse focus doesn’t follow Emacs’s frame arranged left and right.
`C-x o` does not skip among Emacs’s frame.

The mouse focus does follow within the Emacs’s frame on the right, 
for example, when it is split horizontally to contain a top and bottom elements.
`C-x o` does skip among top and bottom elements.

`mouse-autoselect-window` is t; for the following
