This is actually something I've always wanted, but people told me it's dumb. I want two cursors and two keyboards, with two "focused window" panes. If Mouse A clicks Pane1, keyboard A presses should go into Pane1. I think this would be so fun for multiplayer games on the same computer for example (think two Minecraft instances running).

It's possible with wayland seats, if the compositor supports it. I've used sway this way. Assign M+K A to seat A and M+K B to seat B. I only wish I could change the focused window decoration depending on the seat (say: one blue seat and one yellow seat).
