            Bug ID: 85331
           Summary: Add a way to release keyboard grabs without reaching
                    for the mouse
           Product: Spice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: Other
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: gtk-client
          Assignee: spice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: teuf at gnome.org

It would be nice to able to send some shortcuts to the client OS, even while
the VM (with vdagent running) has focus.
This would allow to use alt-tab, alt-f4, ... even when the VM is focused (which
can even happen by mistake when using alt-tab or workspace switching if the
cursor happens to end up on a spice-gtk window).

One way of handling that would be to always honour the 'ungrab keyboard'
shortcut even when the agent is running. It would be regrabbed when the
shortcut is pressed again or when the mouse is moved and stays over the VM (?)

See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=730826 or
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=733988 for cases where this could be
useful.
