Another Engineering Notebook post. Feel free to ignore unless you are

While merging VR and VR2, it has become clear that the present approach to
having multiple VR panes has *no chance* of working.
Indeed, there is a global *controllers *dict, but the keys are Commanders.
This means that there can not be more than one VR pane per Commander. Yes,
we could imagine that values in the controllers dict would be *lists* of VR
controllers, but that is not enough.
Instead, we must have a way of associating VR controllers with *panes*.
Then, when an event is received, we must get the *pane* (not just the
controller).
At present, most commands contain code such as this:
vr = c.frame.top.findChild(
QtWidgets.QWidget, vr3_pane_name)
I think now you can see the problem. This searches the *entire outline*
for a match. Instead, we must associate vr (a VR controller) with the
presently active Leo pane. It had better be a VR pane ;-) It's not rocket
science, but the global controllers dict must go (or be rethought), and all
the code that uses it must be revised.
