Details:

I launch the examples/*/main.cpp corresponding to my backends; with the addition of the MCVE I provided. This MCVE calls ImGui::IsKeyPressed(...) with either keyboard or gamepad input, and display information based on the return value of the call.

If I call ImGui::IsKeyPressed(ImGuiKey_Q), it returns true when I press the Q keyboard key ONLY if the dear imgui application is focused → if I have a text editor open besides my dear imgui application:
- and the text editor is focused, the text editor captures the signal from my keyboard, and the dear imgui application doesn't;
- and the dear imgui application is focused, the dear imgui application captures the signal from my keyboard, and the text editor doesn't;
- this is what I expect
If I call ImGui::IsKeyPressed(ImGuiKey_GamepadL1), it returns true when I press the L1 gamepad button REGARDLESS of the focus of the dear imgui application → if I have a text editor open besides my dear imgui application:
- and the text editor is focused, the dear imgui application captures the signal from my gamepad;
- and the dear imgui application is focused, the dear imgui application captures the signal from my gamepad;
- but I would like for the gamepad to behave like the keyboard

Minimal, Complete and Verifiable Example code:

        // I added this bit of code in the examples/*/main.cpp, after the 3. Show another simple window, and before the Rendering and Cleanup sections of code
        // 4. Show my problem.
        {
            ImGui::Begin("My problem");
            if (ImGui::IsKeyPressed(ImGuiKey_GamepadL1))
            {
                ImGui::Text("The gamepad input is captured regardless of what window from my OS is focused");
                ImGui::SameLine();
                ImGui::Text("Gamepad L1");
            }
            if (ImGui::IsKeyPressed(ImGuiKey_Q))
            {
                ImGui::Text("The keyboard input is captured only if my dear imgui window is focused");
                ImGui::SameLine();
                ImGui::Text("Keyboard Q");
            }
            ImGui::End();
        }
