Summary
The XGrabKeyboard() function actively grabs control of the keyboard and generates
FocusIn and FocusOut events. Further key events are reported only to the grabbing client.
XGrabKeyboard() overrides any active keyboard grab by this client.
If owner_events is False, all generated key events are reported with respect to grab_window.
If owner_events is True and if a generated key event would normally be reported to this client,
it is reported normally; otherwise, the event is reported with respect to the grab_window.
Both KeyPress and KeyRelease events are always reported, independent of any event selection made by the client.
