I hope not. I remember using an older FreeMiNT 1.16 on my Falcon with
GEM=ROM and there were no issues with keyboard input.
Having this focus acc would be nice to have if it is really required....

with the ROM GEM (if desired).
Anyway tested with TOS 1.62de here, I can check if TOS2.06 makes a
difference.
