## Mousebinds
132+

### Unfosus all windows when clicking on desktop
134+

This relates to `Desktop` in the sense of a layer-shell client such as `swaybg`
136+
which does not receive mouse-events.
137+
138+
Note: Clients such as `xfdesktop` and `pcmanfm --desktop` behave like this
139+
anyway.

142+
<context name="Root">
143+
<mousebind button="Left" action="Press">

146+
</context>
147+
```
148+
149+
### Directional maximize
150+
151+
```
152+
<context name="Top">
153+
<mousebind button="Left" action="DoubleClick">
154+
<action name="ToggleMaximize" direction="vertical"/>
155+
</mousebind>
156+
</context>
157+
<context name="Bottom">
158+
<mousebind button="Left" action="DoubleClick">
159+

162+
<context name="Left">
163+
<mousebind button="Left" action="DoubleClick">
164+

165+
</mousebind>
166+
</context>
167+
