Abstract

Methods to perform an operation comprising receiving a first subset of keystroke inputs, of a plurality of keystroke inputs, in a first text input area in a first window, determining that a second window has changed a system focus from the first window to the second window in the absence of an explicit user request to change the system focus, wherein the second window does not include a text input area, wherein a second subset of keystroke inputs of the plurality of keystroke inputs are not received by the first text input area subsequent to changing the system focus, configuring the second window to include a safe-capture area, and capturing the second subset of keystroke inputs in the safe-capture input area while the system focus remains on the second window.
