The spice-gtk display widget will take a global keyboard grab when the pointer is over the display and has the focus. This is to pass those key bindings to the guest, so the guest WM can handle them. Usually, a window manager will not handle bindings when a window has the grab, so you will have to leave the focus from the spice display to release the grab. If you are in fullscreen with virt-viewer, you can reach with the pointer the top auto-hide bar, and use your WM keybindings for example.
If you don't want spice-gtk to get the grab, you can set the SPICE_NOGRAB=1 environment variable.
Hope that helps
