? remote spice? I don't this.

Except that in case of other gtk widget, you can use kbd nav to switch to other
widgets, e.g with 'Tab' key.

Seems you are talking about the opposite. I'm talking about the state of user
explicitly ungrabbing kbd using Ctrl_L+Alt_L keys and then expecting all key
event to go to client/host while kbd is ungrabbed. At the very least they
should have a way to focus another widget using 'Tab' key.

If you insist on Boxes implementing this, I don't mind at all doing it there
but then spice needs to provide me the way to distinguish between user
explicitly ungrabbing keyboard and it happening as a result/side-effect of some
other action/event.
