That's what I was afraid of.
It just so happens that I have a qt/sfml application that works rather well except for those moments when the sfml windows decides to lose input focus and no longer receives messages.
My workarround was to grab the messages from qt and feed them to key mapper code that normally processes the sfml msg queue. The idea does what it is intended with the few keys that are used to manipulate the sfml view. However, I plan to let the user redefine the keys so that leaves me open to the whole problem again.
That's where having a mean to do the convertion would be very useful. Not just to work arround the issue but also to let the user define shortcuts sequences (he's press keys in qt dialog, I'd convert those keys to sfml equivants for use later in the sfml windows).
