I found OpenInput today (see [http://home.gna.org/openinput/index.shtml](http://home.gna.org/openinput/index.shtml)) and find it very interesting. It has support for multiple mouses/pointers, an abstract action interface and so on. The rest is quite similar to what glfw already offers. I’m not shure if it is an advantage for my project. However, I thought that you may want to have a look at it. It can ‘hook’ into a window and respect the window focus. The only problem is that glfw would have to provide respective window-handler information (see [http://download.gna.org/openinput/manual/openinput\_5.html#SEC22](http://download.gna.org/openinput/manual/openinput_5.html#SEC22)).

Looks interesting. I’ll have a look. Thank you.
