Description
Currently, in full screen, a JME app minimizes on lost focus. It's possible to run windowed to avoid this. It would be nice to be able to run full screen without minimize on lost focus. Here's the use case:
- Start a simulation full screen on monitor 1
- Press a CTRL key to disengage mouse/keyboard fly-camera-related inputs from sim (sim keeps running)
- Click into other related presentation materials on monitor 2
- Click the simulation window in monitor 1 to give it focus
- Press a CTRL key to re-engage mouse/keyboard fly-camera-related inputs
- Repeat

Research direction
Start by locating the Java code that handles full-screen windows and behavior when the application loses focus. Reproduce the six-step dual-monitor scenario, then verify that the simulation remains full screen and running while focus moves to presentation materials and returns.
