difficult programatically?
not a question of programmatic difficulty, no, but more like one of kludgy and potential intrusive behavior, not only for Qtractor itself but to any other application on the X screen.
I'm quite sure there would be many PEBCAK type of calls when users start to complain why the damn pc-keyboard doesn't work when it obviously should, completely forgetting that qtractor is grabbing it to its own hidden agenda :)
The pc-keyboard, like the mouse pointer, is a shared resource and its just evil to take exclusive access on it from a window, widget or application which is not the current input focus. At least, that's MHO.
It's a can of worms that I don't wish to open, but again, maybe I am just being short-sighted or maybe you do have a nice solution already under your sleeve ? :)
