Refocus Skyrim VR window when losing focus. Allows using tools like the OVR Toolkit to work on desktop windows without breaking mods that require Skyrim's keyboard input.
Skyrim refocused
Several modules require keyboard focus to function properly. They simulate keypresses and then send the keypresses to any program before all other programs. In normal Skyrim, this isn't a problem since you need to focus on playing the game anyway. But in VR, unless you force the game to go full screen, any window can be moved to the foreground, which then sends the mods keyboard to whoever knows the location.
Skyrim Refocused is a simple SKSE plugin that drags the Window's focus back to Skyrim when you let it go. It starts a brief timer that will reset on mouse and keyboard input, keeping these modules working while still allowing programs like OVR Drop and OVR Toolkit to control desktop programs in VR.
Things to note
Some programs, like Discord, tend to eat input when focused. This will cause the timer to not be reset, meaning you have to re-click discord to continue typing every 5 seconds or so.
Work by looking for a window on your computer called Skyrim VR. If for some reason your game isn't called that (due to language or something like that) it won't work properly. If your game has a different title, please let me know!

Skyrim Refocused is a simple SKSE plugin to drag Window's focus back to Skyrim whenever it looses it. It starts a short timer that will reset on mouse and keyboard input, keeping these mods working while still allowing for programs such as OVR Drop and OVR Toolkit to control desktop programs while in vr.
Caveats
Certain programs, such as Discord, tend to eat input when they're focused. This causes the timer to not be reset, meaning you'd have to reclick into discord to continue typing every 5 seconds or so.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
