Layer panel shouldn't disable common keyboard shortcuts

Ingolf

Windows port

At least layers panel affected:

Select an object in the layer panel
Hold SPACE to pan around with mouse

Result:

Nothing happens --> Click on the open window and then you can hold SPACE to pan
Alt + TAB to other program and ALT + tab to return to VS and then you can hold SPACE to pan

Also:

Toolbar shortcurts like V, A and I also affected.

@Ingolf Yes this occurs because the "focus" goes to the Layers panel and the document window does not receive key presses while the Layers panel is focused. Some keys are needed in the layers panel.
I will try to find a solution for this. This affects both Mac and Windows.

Yeah I thought so. But this is most unfortunate because then using the layer panel for any kind of selecting is the worst place to do so:

With the pointer tool active
Select a layer in the panel - oh, I have to...
Select the object selction control to the right
Merde, A key does not work for adjusting nodes
Move pointer to the left side and click node tool
Move pointer to the object to adjust nodes

@Ingolf This issue should be fixed in the new build 1.1.002 (beta)

@vectoradmin Almost.

With the layers panel active:

If you press A and V now, they activate the respective tools. If you then press SPACE it works as well.
If you press SPACE first, it doesn't activate moving.

@Ingolf I keep this open, and try to fix the issue with Space
