Bridged plugins and keyboard

Hiya!
I'm getting used to X1 and have run into something I really am bugged by.
When I load up a plugin that's bridged, like UAD and whatnot, I'm unable to use my keyboard for playback like I've been accustomed to.  Pressing spacebar to star/stop for example.
 
I have to click onto Sonar to use it.  Once I'm using the plugin GUI, the keyboarding abilities don't work again.  I have to go back and forth.
 
Is there a way to overcome this??

    This is one of the main advantages of the 3rd-Party Jbridge; it doesn't have to open the plug-in GUI as a separate application process with a separate focus. Google it. It's cheap, and worth every penny.

    Bitbridge also has a bad bug that adds an empty buffer of audio to the output of some synths on rendering, causing them to play late. Jbridge eliminates that, too.

    I was using Session Drummer 3 to play some triggers I set up copying transient markers (Audiosnap 2.0 is much better btw!), and 1/2 the time the midi notes wouldn't fire.  I'm not sure if SD3 is a 32-bit plug or not, but it's a synth so it rung a bell when you mentioned it.

    BitBridge brings the plugins into that light-blue wrapper GUI.  Does jBridge also use that?
    I'm just not sure I'm even using jBridge because I don't notice a difference even though I have the option checked off in VST Settings.
