Hi,

When I make the window full of screen (actually the "fullscreen" is false and "borderless" is true), I cannot detect the keyboard service.

For example, in the "update" function, I asked the program to output "keyboard" when the service of the event is "keyboard", and it worked fine when the "borderless" was false, but nothing was output when I enabled the borderless. 

Has anyone met the similar problem before? Any suggestion please?

Thanks a lot.

What OS are you on?

Borderless mode isn't really designed to be used with a keyboard since it is difficult to tell what window is focused anyways.. we typically end using other devices like a game controller, or only use the keyboard from a separate 'operator' window that isn't in borderless mode.

Hi Alessandro,

Thanks for your kind reply.

We are using CentOS 6.5.

I tried to create the 'operate' window and the keyboard did work for that. We will use the wand in the future so hopefully we don't need the keyboard.

Thanks,
Henan
