Solved Can i make a certain app always have input focus?

[iknowjohnny]

In other words, no matter what else is open i want any keyboard stroke to go to this particular app, we'll call it app #1. So if i have app #1 open on 1/2 the screen and then click something on the desktop, then i hit a keyboard stroke, app#1 will react to the keystroke. Is this possible?

No.

An application might manage to do this for itself but it would be a serious violation of good programming principles and STRONGLY discouraged. For a use to set that up, no way. That is contrary to the way Windows has been designed since the beginning.

I found a mouse tweak that basically does it by giving focus when the mouse is over the app which is good enough to accomplish what i want.
