DESCRIPTION
       The function establishes a passive grab on the keyboard.	 In the
       future, the keyboard is actively grabbed (as for the last-keyboard-grab
       time is set to the time at which the key was pressed (as transmitted in
       the event), and the event is reported if all of the following condi‐
       tions are true:

       ·    The keyboard is not grabbed and the specified key (which can
	    itself be a modifier key) is logically pressed when the specified
	    modifier keys are logically down, and no other modifier keys are
	    logically down.

       ·    Either the grab_window is an ancestor of (or is) the focus window,
	    or the grab_window is a descendant of the focus window and con‐
	    tains the pointer.

       ·    A passive grab on the same key combination does not exist on any
	    ancestor of grab_window.

       The interpretation of the remaining arguments is as for The active grab
       is terminated automatically when the logical state of the keyboard has
       the specified key released (independent of the logical state of the
       modifier keys).

       Note that the logical state of a device (as seen by client applica‐
       tions) may lag the physical state if device event processing is frozen.

       A modifiers argument of is equivalent to issuing the request for all
       possible modifier combinations (including the combination of no modi‐
       fiers).	It is not required that all modifiers specified have currently
       assigned KeyCodes.  A keycode argument of is equivalent to issuing the
       request for all possible KeyCodes.  Otherwise, the specified keycode
       must be in the range specified by min_keycode and max_keycode in the
       connection setup, or a error results.

       If some other client has issued a with the same key combination on the
       same window, a error results.  When using or the request fails com‐
       pletely, and a error results (no grabs are established) if there is a
       conflicting grab for any combination.

       can generate and errors.

       The function releases the key combination on the specified window if it
       was grabbed by this client.  It has no effect on an active grab.	 A
       modifiers of is equivalent to issuing the request for all possible mod‐
       ifier combinations (including the combination of no modifiers).	A key‐
       code argument of is equivalent to issuing the request for all possible
       key codes.

       can generate and error.

DIAGNOSTICS
       A client attempted
		 to grab a key/button combination already grabbed by another
		 client.

       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.

       A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.
