Multiple keyboard focus

I have been searching forums all night for something similar with no apparent solution. Great start though!

Currently our highest priority it to enable concurrency, which means true parallel input on a desktop. This is very complex and interesting.
The developers have an architecture prepared for users. So it could very well be that keyboard input will be added to the possibilities. In example an users consists of a mouse and keyboard device. I wis... more
