Providing input from input device to corresponding application program

A method of providing input from each of a plurality of input devices to one of a plurality of application programs, the method comprising:

• receiving an input from one of the plurality of input devices;
• determining if the input from the one of the plurality of input devices has a corresponding application program selected from the one of a plurality of application programs;
• based on determining that the input from the one of the plurality of input devices corresponds with the corresponding application program, forwarding the input to the corresponding application program;
• based on determining that the input from the one of the plurality of input devices does not correspond with one of a plurality of application program, determining if the input corresponds to a second application programs from the plurality of application programs that is in a state of waiting for input to one application program has been entered from one input device;
• and
• based on determining that the input corresponds to the second application program, establishing a correspondence between the second application program and the one of the plurality of input devices.

A computer program product for providing input from each of a plurality of input devices to one of a plurality of application programs, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program code embodied therewith, the program code executable by a processor to:

• receive an input from one of the plurality of input devices;
• determine if the input from the one of the plurality of input devices has a corresponding application program selected from the one of a plurality of application programs;
• based on determining that the input from the one of the plurality of input devices corresponds with the corresponding application program, forward the input to the corresponding application program;
• based on determining that the input from the one of the plurality of input devices does not correspond with one of a plurality of application program, determine if the input corresponds to a second application programs from the plurality of application programs that is in a state of waiting for input to one application program has been entered from one input device;
• and
• based on determining that the input corresponds to the second application program, establish a correspondence between the second application program and the one of the plurality of input devices.
