If I understand you correctly, you have to ask your window manager to make the keyboard focus follow the mouse. The man page for your window manager should tell you how to do this. If you use this feature with (setq auto-raise-screen t) and multiple overlapping epoch screens, don't move your mouse around too fast :-).
