I am using Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS , Kernel version Linux 5.3.0-28-generic. I want the applications to open in the background whenever I click the application icons that are on the left pane.

For e.g. I open Atom, then IntelliJ and while I am editing texts in Atom, the IntelliJ window opens right in front and I have to press ALT + TAB to get Atom focus again. This is very annoying.

Can I get some help please so as to keep working in Atom and when I am done, I can click on the IntelliJ icon to bring IntelliJ in focus?

You might check out "Focus Follows Mouse" GNOME extension at https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/767/focus-follows-mouse/. You can also search there for other "focus" extensions that may better suit your needs.
