+<li>window focus handling
+</li>
+<li>picking objecs using mouse
+</li>
+<li>redirecting keyboard input to focused window
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+
+<p>
+Window focus acts like a stack.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+When window is clicked with the mouse, previously focused window (if
+any) is pushed to the focus stack and new window receives focus. Red
+frame appears around the window to indicate this.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+When ESC key is pressed, window focus is returned to previous window
+(if any).
+</p>
+
+<p>
+When any window is focused, all keyboard input is redirected to that
+window, including cursor keys. To be able to navigate around the world
+again, window must be unfocused first using ESC key.
+</p>
+
+
+<ul class="org-ul">
+<li>TODO:
+<ul class="org-ul">
+<li>Improve focus handling:
+<ul class="org-ul">
+<li>Perhaps add shortcut to navigate world without exiting entire
+stack of focus.

+<li>Possibility to retain and reuse recently focused elements.
+</li>
+<li>Store user location in the world and view direction with the
+focused window. So that when returning focus to far away object,
+user is redirected also to proper location in the world.
