window focus
iPad Air M3, with external keyboard & mouse. Using iVim simultaneous with other open windows, is proving to be not possable, because, iVim is not allowing the mouse pointer to focus in another window, when clicking in another window, the pointer focus will not hold, closing iVim down, fixes the problem.

Since the development appears to be largely stalled, would the developer consider making the project as an open source? I doubt this will ever be a huge money maker, but could attract a small motivated community of developers.
