context object for keyboard shortcuts inhibitor

A keyboard shortcuts inhibitor instructs the compositor to ignore its own keyboard shortcuts when the associated surface has keyboard focus. As a result, when the surface has keyboard focus on the given seat, it will receive all key events originating from the specified seat, even those which would normally be caught by the compositor for its own shortcuts.

The Wayland compositor is however under no obligation to disable all of its shortcuts, and may keep some special key combo for its own use, including but not limited to one allowing the user to forcibly restore normal keyboard events routing in the case of an unwilling client. The compositor may also use the same key combo to reactivate an existing shortcut inhibitor that was previously deactivated on user request.

When the compositor restores its own keyboard shortcuts, an “inactive” event is emitted to notify the client that the keyboard shortcuts inhibitor is not effectively active for the surface and seat any more, and the client should not expect to receive all keyboard events.

When the keyboard shortcuts inhibitor is inactive, the client has no way to forcibly reactivate the keyboard shortcuts inhibitor.

The user can chose to re-enable a previously deactivated keyboard shortcuts inhibitor using any mechanism the compositor may offer, in which case the compositor will send an “active” event to notify the client.

If the surface is destroyed, unmapped, or loses the seat’s keyboard focus, the keyboard shortcuts inhibitor becomes irrelevant and the compositor will restore its own keyboard shortcuts but no “inactive” event is emitted in this case.
