Spice-gtk is a bit special: 1. You normally want *all* keyboard events to go to guest. If you compare it to 99% of widgets out there, they don't eat all keyboard events even if they are focused. 2. SpiceGtk already has this concept of keyboard-ungrab and I don't know of any gtk+ widget (except for vnc which is the same case) that has this concept. I'm not asking for a new state but rather extending the idea of this keyboard-ungrab to include all keys, as users would expect it to be, not just system keys. Since users will be expecting that in all UIs, I strongly recommend this be solved by spice-gtk, rather than be done separately in every app that uses spice-gtk. > If you want to stop receiving the keys, just use the disable inputs > property [0], as Marc-Andre said in the <a href="show_bug.cgi?id=93249#c4">comment 4</a>. That also disables mouse input and that's not at all what I want. I looked into implementing it in Boxes yesterday and it's doable by switching focus to event_box that contains the SpiceGtk widget on keyboard ungrab and undoing that on receiving ungrab keys so it's not really a matter of "if Boxes can do it" but rather "Whether Boxes should do it".</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
