Ever click onto the wrong window, start typing without thinking, and realize you've typed a perfectly fine sentance into absolutley nothing?
Enter the Text Catcher.
By default, it records the last thirty characters you've input into your keyboard immediately after you have switched a window. If
you miss the window, simply select it properly, hit ctrl+(input whatever convenient shortcut you like) and voila: your AIM conversation about pop culture and celebrities can go unimpeded.

Baked? Keyloggers are numerous and widely accessible. They even come in hardware forms that you can plug into your keyboard line and which work even before you log onto your OS. |

Definitely sounds like a keylogger. |

Dang it, I typed my entire comment into Paintbrush instead of here. Well, I'm certainly not going to repeat all of that. |

If there's no input 'focus' to catch your text, it should end up in a jumbled heap of characters at the bottom of the screen. Once you realise this is happening, you should be able to pick up the end of this string of characters with the cursor, and drag it to the window where it's supposed to be. |

Only when using a second monitor and multiple desktops (e.g., an RDP session and a VM image as well as an app running on the native OS). In that sort of situation, it is easy for a given window to look as though it has the focus when, for practical purposes, it hasn't. The solution there, though, is probably something that follows which screen your eyes are focused on, and alerts you if you're typing into a window on the other screen. |

What I'd like is a don't-EVER-take-my-focus-away setting on the window manager that, when set, will not release focus from the currently-receiving-focus window until the USER requests it. Other apps or windows that want focus (becuase you started them 10min ago and they've just finished sending your underwear size to bill gates) can flash away at the bottom of the screen until you explicitly GIVE them your attention. |
