Is there a way to select split panes on mouse hover?
Answered
Generally, I work with many vertical and horizontal splits in a decent monitor. When studying code I want to select each editor pane whenever I hover the mouse on any of them. Is there a way to configure such behavior?

Hi Konstantin! Thanks for replying. No, I'm running a GNU/Linux distribution, Pop! OS 20.04 specifically.
I might add to my explanation that I expect the caret to move to the pane under the mouse when I move it.
There is no similar feature and I am afraid it is hard to achieve that from UX point of view.
It is not expected to move caret by cursor movement, as there is no trivial logic on how to distinguish regular pointer movement from intention to move text cursor.
But in case you expect this feature to be popular, feel free to submit a feature request at https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/newIssue?project=IDEA
