.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.B XGrabKeyboard
|
|
function actively grabs control of the keyboard and generates
|
|
.B FocusIn
|
|
and
|
|
.B FocusOut
|
|
events.
|
|
Further key events are reported only to the
|
|
grabbing client.
|
|
.B XGrabKeyboard
|
|
overrides any active keyboard grab by this client.
|
|
If owner_events is
|
|
.BR False ,
|
|
all generated key events are reported with
|
|
respect to grab_window.
|
|
If owner_events is
|
|
.B 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
|
|
.B KeyPress
|
|
and
|
|
.B KeyRelease
|
|
events are always reported,
|
|
independent of any event selection made by the client.
|
|
.LP
|
|
If the keyboard_mode argument is
|
|
.BR GrabModeAsync ,
|
|
keyboard event processing continues
|
|
as usual.
|
|
If the keyboard is currently frozen by this client,
|
|
then processing of keyboard events is resumed.
|
|
If the keyboard_mode argument is
|
|
.BR GrabModeSync ,
|
|
the state of the keyboard (as seen by client applications) appears to freeze,
|
|
and the X server generates no further keyboard events until the
|
|
grabbing client issues a releasing
|
|
.B XAllowEvents
|
|
call or until the keyboard grab is released.
|
|
Actual keyboard changes are not lost while the keyboard is frozen;
|
|
they are simply queued in the server for later processing.
|
|
.LP
|
|
If pointer_mode is
|
|
.BR GrabModeAsync ,
|
|
pointer event processing is unaffected
|
|
by activation of the grab.
|
|
If pointer_mode is
|
|
.BR GrabModeSync ,
|
|
the state of the pointer (as seen by client applications) appears to freeze,
|
|
and the X server generates no further pointer events
|
|
until the grabbing client issues a releasing
|
|
.B XAllowEvents
|
|
call or until the keyboard grab is released.
|
|
Actual pointer changes are not lost while the pointer is frozen;
|
|
they are simply queued in the server for later processing.
|
|
.LP
|
|
If the keyboard is actively grabbed by some other client,
|
|
.B XGrabKeyboard
|
|
fails and returns
|
|
.BR AlreadyGrabbed .
|
|
If grab_window is not viewable,
|
|
it fails and returns
|
|
.BR GrabNotViewable .
|
|
If the keyboard is frozen by an active grab of another client,
|
|
it fails and returns
|
|
.BR GrabFrozen .
|
|
If the specified time is earlier than the last-keyboard-grab time
|
|
or later than the current X server time,
|
|
it fails and returns
|
|
.BR GrabInvalidTime .
|
|
Otherwise, the last-keyboard-grab time is set to the specified time
|
|
.Pn ( CurrentTime
|
|
is replaced by the current X server time).
|
|
.LP
|
|
.B XGrabKeyboard
|
|
can generate
|
|
.B BadValue
|
|
and
|
|
.B BadWindow
|
|
errors.
|
|
.LP
|
|
The
|
|
.B XUngrabKeyboard
|
|
function
|
|
releases the keyboard and any queued events if this client has it actively grabbed from
|
|
either
|
|
.B XGrabKeyboard
|
|
or
|
|
.BR XGrabKey .
|
|
.B XUngrabKeyboard
|
|
does not release the keyboard and any queued events
|
|
if the specified time is earlier than
|
|
the last-keyboard-grab time or is later than the current X server time.
|
|
It also generates
|
|
.B FocusIn
|
|
and
|
|
.B FocusOut
|
|
events.
|
|
The X server automatically performs an
|
|
.B UngrabKeyboard
|
|
request if the event window for an
|
|
active keyboard grab becomes not viewable.
|
|
.SH DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
.TP 1i
|
|
.B BadValue
|
|
Some numeric value falls outside the range of values accepted by the request.
|
|
Unless a specific range is specified for an argument, the full range defined
|
|
by the argument's type is accepted.
|
|
Any argument defined as a set of
|
|
alternatives can generate this error.
|
|
.TP 1i
|
|
.B BadWindow
|
|
A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.
