Active focus is not being switched upon pen input on graphics tablet #589

After some updates, the pen input started working on Cosmic DE. One of the issues that is still around is this one. Pen input seems to work on the applications(outside of Cosmic ones) itself but does not seem to switch the focus of the active windows.

Here is the recording of the issue:

See how the active hint is not being switched to the application being used when using pen input.

It would be nice if this is configurable, this is actually behavior I like having, In general I like having pen and touch separate from mouse and keyboard focus. but pen would need to be seperate from mouse for this.

@Quackdoc I doubt you mean it as that would result in not being able to use the keyboard shortcut of the app you're using with your pen & tablet, because it's not selected per se if the active focus is not switched over. I say that because it is very common workflow to use keyboard shortcuts along with graphics/display tablets.

that is what I mean and why I would like to to be configurable.
