Here's a simple (?) suggestion:
Add a new flag SYSREQ. Semantics are: Any keyboard input that would go to
this window has the possibility of being passed to another window (technically
to another IDCMP port). Whether it is passed or not depends on whether it is
a keystroke associated with something intuition can check, such as a
menu selection. Give system requesters a menu consisting of amiga-v/b.

Presto. Anything you type at a SYSREQ window will go to whoever was active
when it was created. Then you have the best of both worlds.
