recieve keyboard inputs?

Interesting. Does this mode grab all input all the time, or only if the application currently has input focus?> ----- Original Message -----

It does nothing when focus isn’t on your app. It only affects your
app’s handling of input and doesn’t actually “capture” the input
devices. (It can also sometimes have weird results if your user tries
to manipulate your window.)
