Running into a tricky situation here. I have a program that is opened and in full screen mode on my 27inch lg monitor and on my 23 inch lg monitor to my right, is another program that I need to use my keyboard to activate it without going out of my full screen on my main program or switching tasks from my main program to the side program on my 23 inch monitor. Now the main program does not need to use the keyboard or mouse, but I do have an n64 controller hooked up into it and whenever I click on my side program my main program alt tabs out and it gives all function to my side program on my side monitor. Is it possible to just give keyboard function to my side program while continuing to have everything else be on my main monitor and my main program because all I have to do I hit the spacebar every so often to stop a timer on my side program. Or can you get another keyboard to have running off the second monitor. (Although I think that's impossible) Any advice would be much appreciated!!
Can you control one program with a keyboard while having open and running a different program off a different monitor?

That is a tricky setup, but it might be possible with an app called desktop pins which keeps the screen always on top. This works for windowed applications, but you should try it on your full screen program, it might work. If not try to see if there is an option to keep that screen always on top or search for a different app that will help you do that.

I have the same problem sometimes. I have some games don't always need to actively interact with. I would like to be able to slide my cursor off to the other monitor and do something else simultaneously.
