An ungrabbed keyboard reached both sides at once: gamescope, which in VR reads every input device itself (the SteamOS build's InputStealer), typed into its focused app, and ft-screens typed into the desktop. Space in the desktop paused Spotify on the dashboard, including every space frame-voice dictated. And while the SteamVR dashboard was open, the desktop got no keys at all. Typing now follows the last click. ft-screens sees clicks on its own screens; the pointer helper reports the panel under the dot on each mouse press, so a click on any other panel sends typing to Steam. While typing goes to the desktop and the screens are showing, ft-screens tells the relay every second, and the relay grabs pass-through keyboards. A grab waits until no key is down, and the relay lets go if ft-screens stops reporting. Controller clicks on other panels aren't visible to overlay apps, so they don't move typing (noted in the README). A program that reads every keyboard for a hotkey loses a grabbed one. Repeating the keys on another input device doesn't work, since gamescope reads that too, so with SHARE_KEYS=1 the relay sends them to @frametop_keys as datagrams with the device name. It's off by default: any local process that binds that name first would get every key typed into the desktop. The docs now say gamescope reads keyboards and the headset's buttons itself; they said SteamVR passed keys on to it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
