There are some reasons you may not want to use gtk bindings (modifier-key
bindings, such as "ctrl+alt"), but in general, we should use gtk bindings,
and this is what virt-viewer is doing for UI integration. So spice-gtk
bindings are useless as soon as you try to ingrate properly. But having
modifier-key bindings for this particular action probably makes sense. But
then, why not share with the ungrab keybinding already mapping that (since
there are few other binding options)?.

Getting back to the patch, disabling all inputs can be pretty annoying if
you did it by accident. I was hoping for a more simple and less error-prone
solution.

Christophe suggested something that seems better to me and avoid necessity
for a second binding, it is detailed in
