Hi,
I don't have any issues. I was just thinking that it can be useful to
avoid automatic pointer and keyboard grabbing.
This patch enables keyboard and pointer ungrabbing in both modes.
The commit log only mentions mouse ungrabbing, but you mention keyboard
here. Does it also ungrab the keyboard? Ungrabbing the keyboard is
useful as it allows to pass key combinations to the client OS when the
guest is focused (alt-tab, alt+f4, ...)
+1 for being able to release keyboard using shortcut.
A few months back I started working on this exact problem (and made it
exactly nowhere). There is already a key combination which can be
defined for releasing grab, but it doesn't work in client mode.
It would be very useful for these tasks which I constantly am
inconvenienced by when using remote-viewer. Citrix has a "local escape"
key which allows the next key to be passed through. Default ctrl-f2.
- play/pause music playing on local computer using multimedia keys
- answer softphone with keyboard shortcut running on local computer
With respect to the screen saver, I think the current behavior is pretty
ok: local screensaver is inhibited until the exact moment of ungrab
(e.g. leaving fullscreen and moving the mouse out) and then the local
screensaver kicks in.
