Sorry that functionality of de_window is out of scope of it. So of 
course, it won't work for what you want, it just creates a window and a 
context cross platform with input for that window.

The functionality you are wanting is possible against winapi and x11 
fairly easily. Its just low level. Although X11 is a little easier as it 
can be done via a program on cli.
Unfortunately c/c++ will help you as much as D will in these cases.
If you run into trouble with those api's we can help you. But you will 
need help, these are topics that aren't recommended for a newbie.

I'm not quite sure how to receive key presses from other windows. Maybe 
Mike Parker (aldracon) has some ideas.
