So sorry for that.<br>

When it comes to my ideas, then I am feeling like a mother for her children. <br>

Please ignore the emotional stuff :-)<br>

<div>Hi all,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I hope I was not too intrusive. I could not resist to phrase the idea, which came to my mind due to the discussion, which Don started.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Should we discuss it? Is my intention clear?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Is it redundant? Is it too brilliant? Is it old stuff?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks about ANY feed back.</div>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Hi all</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Sorry for writing so many e-mails for just one idea. Now I have seized the lunch break to summarize the suggestion, maybe it can explain the idea better:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Is there anything in X3D that makes the following DRAFT proposal obsolete?</p>
</li>
<li>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">DRAFT Proposal for simplified handling of keystrokes or other input of character streams via KeySensor and StringSensor.<br />
a) Each <strong>X3D grouping node</strong> defines two additional fields<br />
<field accessType='inputOutput' name=<strong>'canHaveFocus' </strong>type='SFBool' value='false'/><br />
<field accessType='inputOutput' name=<strong>'isAvatar' </strong>type='SFBool' value='false'/><br />
b) the behaviour is as follows:<br />
b.1) <strong>canHaveFocus == false</strong>: well-known "old" behaviour, no change<br />
b.2) <strong>canHaveFocus == true && isAvatar == false</strong>: the browser may select this group together with all static and dynamic children to get the "focus" by some means. Only one group and its children can have the focus at any time. Having the focus means all StringSensor nodes and KeySensor nodes contained in the group are enabled regardless of the value of their "enabled" field. The browser SHOULD graphically indicate, which geometry has got the focus, e.g. by highlighting or by drawing a 2-dimensional "frame" around the geometry.<br />
b.3) <strong>canHaveFocus == true && isAvatar == true</strong>: same behaviour as with b.2), but the avatar gets the focus any time, when no other geometry has the focus, even, if the avatar is invisible currently.</p>
</li>
</ol>

<div class="mail_android_message" style="padding: 0.5em; line-height: 1;">Maybe its silly, but I thought: 1) I can *ride* a locomotive and * use* its controls or 2) I can *be* a locomotive<br />

<div class="mail_android_message" style="padding: 0.5em; line-height: 1;">Each grouping node would need a new field:<br />
<br />
<field accessType='inputOutput' type='SFBool' name='canHaveFocus' value='false'/><br />
<br />
and the rest was up to the browser.<br />

<div class="mail_android_message" style="padding: 0.5em; line-height: 1;">And what about a concept of "having the focus":<br />
<br />
If a grouping node "had the focus", then all KeySensor and StringSensor nodes within this group would become "enabled".<br />

<div class="mail_android_message" style="padding: 0.5em; line-height: 1;">Maybe my opinion is not important, but I think these concrete hints which key to use for which navigation function should be completely avoided in X3D Spec.<br />
<br />
Isn't it enough to have the abstract/virtual concepts of "indicating forward/backward/left/right/up/down", "fast/slow", "touch", "drag" by "some means that are up to the Browser"?<br />
<br />
The Events that are created by the sensor nodes have to be specified well, on the other hand. <br />
<br />
A different story is the Network Sensor, where the protocol should be specified to the bits. <br />
<br />
Just my opinion and just Two Cent:-)<br />
