When the mouse hovers over a tab, it automatically activates

Hi,
When the mouse hovers over a tab, it automatically activates. I am using the dual-pane view in XYplorer, and I hope to achieve automatic activation of the corresponding tab when the mouse moves over any window. Is this possible? Currently, it requires a mouse click to activate.

I'd like the hover activation too

(just deleted my bug report about this same issue)
It's not just a usability enhancement, but also something users expect based on the behaviour of XYplorer within the active pane. I was puzzled by XYplorer not switching to the inactive tab in the inactive pane when hovering the mouse curser over it.
Oh damn, I think I misunderstood OP's request. I am talking about drag & drop specifically. Should I reopen my bug report?

I am using Activate on hover in windows settings. thats useful in dual moniotor setup.
for xyplorer it will be more time saver feature.
Thank you
