+ <description summary="Protocol for grabbing the keyboard from Xwayland">
+ This protocol is application-specific to meet the needs of the X11
+ protocol through Xwayland. It provides a way for Xwayland to request
+ all keyboard events to be forwarded to a surface even when the
+ surface does not have keyboard focus.
+
+ In the X11 protocol, a client may request an "active grab" on the
+ keyboard. On success, all key events are reported only to the
+ grabbing X11 client. For details, see XGrabKeyboard(3).
+
+ The core Wayland protocol does not have a notion of an active
+ keyboard grab. When running in Xwayland, X11 applications may
+ acquire an active grab inside Xwayland but that cannot be translated
+ to the Wayland compositor who may set the input focus to some other
+ surface. In doing so, it breaks the X11 client assumption that all
+ key events are reported to the grabbing client.
+
+ This protocol specifies a way for Xwayland to request all keyboard
+ be directed to the given surface. The protocol does not guarantee
+ that the compositor will honor this request and it does not
+ prescribe user interfaces on how to handle the respond. For example,
+ a compositor may inform the user that all key events are now
+ forwarded to the given client surface, or it may ask the user for
+ permission to do so.
+
+ Compositors are required to restrict access to this application
+ specific protocol to Xwayland alone.
+
+ Warning! The protocol described in this file is experimental and
+ backward incompatible changes may be made. Backward compatible
+ changes may be added together with the corresponding interface
+ version bump.
+ Backward incompatible changes are done by bumping the version
+ number in the protocol and interface names and resetting the
+ interface version. Once the protocol is to be declared stable,
+ the 'z' prefix and the version number in the protocol and
+ interface names are removed and the interface version number is
+ reset.

+ The grab_keyboard request asks for a grab of the keyboard, forcing
+ the keyboard focus for the given seat upon the given surface.
+
+ The protocol provides no guarantee that the grab is ever satisfied,
+ and does not require the compositor to send an error if the grab
+ cannot ever be satisfied. It is thus possible to request a keyboard
+ grab that will never be effective.
+
+ The protocol:
+
+ * does not guarantee that the grab itself is applied for a surface,
+ the grab request may be silently ignored by the compositor,
+ * does not guarantee that any events are sent to this client even
+ if the grab is applied to a surface,
+ * does not guarantee that events sent to this client are exhaustive,
+ a compositor may filter some events for its own consumption,
+ * does not guarantee that events sent to this client are continuous,
+ a compositor may change and reroute keyboard events while the grab
+ is nominally active.
