But do you want this?
I had a problem with using a keypress to trigger a loop, because pd also sents 
it to the currently clicked numberbox f.i.
What happended:
 I just set the tempo to 170 BPM in a numberbox and didn't bother clicking the 
canvas afterwards.
Then I pressed 1 to start the first loop, and behold, the tempo got set to 1 
BPM as well, so not much was happening.
The focus is visible if you use numberbox2, but not on a "classic"-numberbox/
So using a secondary keyboard, it might be better to disable it as an 
X-windows ikeyboard-device, and use the hid-object to parse the input.
That way you won't get these nasty surprises.
