The popularization of virtual keyboards in mobile devices made me think of another possibility: have an always-on keyboard buffer that caches everything the user types, no matter what the focused window does with the keypresses (except for password fields). That way if a popup dialog steals focus, the user's typing is not lost - you still can refocus the original window and copy/paste from the buffer. Definitely not a solution for a papercut. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : ayatana@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
