Re: [VMPK-devel] Can I make VMPK stay always active on other programs?

[Pedro Lopez-C. <ped...@gm...>]

Hi,

I'm glad that you like the application, but I am not sure to fully understand 
your request. 

You may want to always see the piano window over any other program windows 
executed at once. No problem in this case, you only need to activate the 
checkbox "always on top" located in the "preferences" dialog. 

On the other hand, you may want to always keep the "focus" on the piano 
window, so it receives the computer keyboard (and/or mouse) events even when 
there is another application window focused simultaneously. Sorry: this is not 
implemented. It was an option for Linux some time ago, but changes on the Qt5 
library made it go away. You can open a ticket for this feature request, but I 
can't promise anything because it may require considerable work and my free 
time is very limited.

Regards,
Pedro

You can activate the checkbox "Always on top" in the "Preferences" dialog.
