Pull request 122573 adds physical keyboard input for visionOS through the…
The second theme is physics correctness and performance. Schnorg has two related pull requests, 122581 and 122616, both targeting area monitoring order — ensuring enter signals fire before exit signals — as a more efficient alternative to a previous sorting-based fix. The same author's earlier work, pull request…
