so i made a simple virtual keyboard for controlling VST's and stuff, but my issue is that when i open the VST's UI, it puts keyboard focus on to the VST and away from Max entirely, therefore the keyboard no longer works, which makes it useless in using it to hear the sounds while i change parameters. so my question is, is there a way to make Max constantly scan for keyboard input, even in the background? if not, i want to just make this in C, which wouldnt be too complicated, but it seems to be impossible to find out what exactly controls the midi on my computer (Macbook), in order for me to pipe the data from C to.
