Is there a way to have the keyboard plugin automatically disabled when the focus is not in the Mach4 window, and re-enabled when the focus goes back to Mach4 window?
+1 for this

Same here.

Or at least when you open the Gcode editor. Anyone know if this is possible?

+1 about freeing the keyboard when mach4 is not in focus.

Also, how do I map the ESCAPE key as STOP like it was configured in mach3?

It is possible from a plugin to do this, however this can only be done by disabling the keyboard plugin when mach4 loses focus, if the keyboard was enabled when in focus you will not be able to use the mdi panel as the windows event for onFocus will keep enabling the plugin.

Have a look at the function for enable/disable in the startup script, this can be adapted and used within the tabs when choosing between GCode and Mdi screens.

I've experimented with this and it doesn't seem to work for me. Is this something you have working on your own setup?

Also, is there some sort of WindowLostFocus() type event that you can tie a script to in order to achieve this?

Perhaps this quicky will help.
