That was /exactly/ my concern when I asked "how did you do that". As far
as I know, in the
"classic" PE a ptr read in a background window will just block.
With QPTR, this works (on QPC & SMSQmulator) even when bgio is switched
off:
100 OPEN_NEW#0,"con"
110 WINDOW#0,0,0,0,0
120 OUTLN#0,0,0,0,0

Y-direction should be no problem, the sprite can leave the edge of the

Seems to work on my QPC2, executed as SBasic job.
Then you have to open a "con" or "scr" channel, default size will do.
Works over the whole width, didn't act on the Escape key though.
Esc would only work if my program had the cursor at the time (as I provided
no other Quit option).

It directly checks pt_pos in the CON linkage bloc

I remember a program I wrote for Dilwyn some years ago (I can't remember
the name of it though!) which opened a full-screen window for some
reason, which effectively disabled using the pointer to pick the other
running programs.
Same with

Very elegant. A 0 sized window will probably do as well.
