hey, i remember a long time ago maybe Miller or Hans told us how to use
maybe xinput or hid or somethin to keep keyboard mouse input going to one
program even ifvanother program has focus.
Anyone remember how to do that on linux?
i like patch surfing on sirge and dexed whike playing in microtonal scales
with custom keyboard layouts and switching modes , all my mode and keyboard
stuff is handled by puredata patches and if i click on surge or dexed while
playing , their virtual keyboard gains focus and screws up what im playin
on the keyboard.
