I find this feature very convenient for this program, because you can play notes with VMPK even when you are using controls with the mouse in another application. For instance, you may want to press the record/stop buttons in your favorite MIDI sequencer while using VMPK. Grabbing the keyboard works well in KDE, Enlightenment and WindowMaker, but it is very annoying under other window managers and desktops as you have noticed. I'm sorry, but I can only offer a workaround for the next release: grab keyboard functionality will be optional, and disabled by default. For the record, when the keyboard grabbing is active you don't need to exit the program to use the keyboard in other applications, only minimize (hide it). Keyboard grabbing will be re-enabled when the program is restored. Of course, you can fix your problem right now: install and use a decent desktop, like KDE ;-) Regards, Pedro _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
