Description

Hi. LMMS devs. Your software is great. Thank you.

I have a request to make checkbox which allow PC-keyboard don't lost focus
when you're changing different presets
( user want to find the "right" sound and look over needful preset, for example ).

For current version 1.1.3:
1) user need to select preset he interested
2) send it to active instrument track (for example)
3) then need to click mouse on any window, - otherwise all keyb buttons
he pressed will navigate preset menu, and will not produce sound.

It's uncomfortable in case when user often changes different
instruments\presets hope to find what he need.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Reproduce the described preset-selection and keyboard-focus sequence, then trace the relevant preset browser and virtual PC-keyboard focus handling. Done means providing a checkbox that keeps keyboard input focused on the active instrument while presets are changed, without breaking preset navigation.
