Cross platform c++ lib for OS events

Is there any good modern c++ cross platform libraries which abstracts the operating system events? Currently I'm looking to use GLFW input, but I really dislike how it is tied to a window.

what sort of operating system events are you in need of?

examining your link, I thnk you might want, sdl2, maybe?

The only C++ library I'm aware of that handles input entirely distinctly from windowing is OIS.

One catch is that a number of popular user environments tie operating system evens to the windowing system, and for a very good reason (a multi-tasking OS requires user focus to know the target of many kinds of events, like input, and focus is dependent on the windowing system).
