Thanks!
What is the difference between CursorHide() and CursorObscure()?
What are CursorShield(w as Window) and CursorShield(rect as RectControl)
for?

I'm polling keyboard.asyncKeyDown() once in the loop. If a user presses
apple-tab in a moment when I'm not polling, I wont have a chance to detect
that I'm now in the background, right?
So the right strategy would be to hide the cursor and poll as often as
possible for apple-tab and apple-H (which doesn't seem to affect my app) and
leave the tight loop when these keys are pressed.
