Description
### Enhancement Summary
When a VST is loaded, and the VST's GUI window is in focus/in front playing notes on the computer keyboard does not work.
One has to change the window to the VeSTige window to do that. (Or play notes with the mouse)
#### Justification
It would be simpler to play on the keyboard and use the things on the GUI at the same time without the need to switch windows.
(This is on ubuntu with lmms-1.3.0-alpha.1.102+g89fc6c9-linux-x86_64.AppImage)

Research direction
Start by locating VeSTige's VST GUI and window-focus handling, then reproduce the issue on Ubuntu with a loaded VST whose GUI is in front. Done means computer-keyboard notes continue to work while the VST GUI remains focused, without requiring a switch back to the VeSTige window.
