I still don't understand -- how does an application "grab" control from the OS?
Doesn't the OS have control of switching between Applications? I sometimes screw things up myself, if while typing really fast (for me) I inadvertently type some keyboard shortcut (ctrl-something) that tells the OS to switch applications, open a dialog, or somesuch. Is this what you are talking about? If so, then I agree that it would be nice to have an OS enhancement that would protect you from yourself, e.g. a special setting (toggle) that would block keystrokes that could cause toe OS to change focus.
