   I think that would be using a screwdriver to hammer a nail in with.   
      
   One could create a loop around smg$read_keystroke, replace   
   all smg$read_string call with lots of application code,   
   open multiple virtual keyboards to multiple terminals   
   (input device is an argument), use smg$read_keystroke   
   with a timeout and try multiple virtual keyboards.   
      
   It would require lots of code and perform poorly. And   
   I don't really see the use case.
