When I take my hand off the mouse to use the keyboard
the mouse will shift.
If the target is small it goes into another field
quite easily. 
The loss of keyboard focus when this happens is frown
inducing annoying.

That works to some extent. Workspaces keep their focus
for example. 

The preferences aren't
implemented everywhere. So if you

Set the preferences as above. 
Get a workspace
>From the label menu select 'change title'
Then move the cursor out of the title box.
Typing will go to the workspace not the title.
The title can only be typed with the help of the
mouse.

The preferences help. There is more work needed.

Yours in service, --Jerome Peace
