autoVP automatically switches the active viewport to the viewport the mouse is hovering over. This allows you to interact much faster with manipulators in that viewport, select objects, get properties, etc.

Script can be used 'as is' as well as be accessed by scripters (e.g. the function to get the viewport under the mouse is exposed).

Additional Info: 

For details, see the script source file.

I uploaded a new version

I uploaded a new version today.

Internally, for coders, the change was to add a callback function that can temporarily disable AutoVP.

Externally, a default callback function was set up so that when the left mouse button is pressed/down, AutoVP will be temporarily disabled. This prevents odd behavion performing dragging operations such as drag-move/rotate/scale where the cursor may leave the viewport's bounds.
This can be switched out for any other function or set 'undefined' to disable completely. One additional callback function is included that causes autoVP to temporarily be disabled if the Shift key is pressed.
