Currently that might be but I presented arguments of why it should be for all
keys, above.

That's for terminal.

Yeah, I did, that is in fact Step#1 just above this step.

>From these two alone, I'm fairly sure you are talking about the opposite here:
Getting the system keys to guest. I'm expecting those shortcuts to work in
virt-manager UI rather than inside the guest. That's why every other step is to
ungrab the keyboard.

See File menu entry in virt-manager.

Of course not, Gtk+ will handle it if spice-gtk doesn't take the keys to the
guest.
