Sure.  But if you want it only sometimes you can bind a key to turn it
on or off so you can have it only momentarily.

The other way is to bind a key (if not already bound) to the "lower
winder" action.  That won't (or shouldn't) alter the focus and will push
the window under the one you want to see.
