Some applications grab all keyboard keys in such a way, that my window manager (i3) does not get the keys any more that are meant for it. Until recently, I only came across dosbox and the qemu window with this behavior. But both of them offer a way to stop grabbing every input of the X server (by default, dosbox uses the key binding CTRL+F10, QEMU uses CTRL+ALT). But then I ran OgreSampleBrowser for which I could not find such a key binding (did I miss something). Thus, now I'm interested in a general way to prevent applications to grab every key event if they are part of a key binding of my window manager. Is there some way to only whitelist the ones, which may grab all keys? Additionally to that, OgreSampleBrowser also unconditionally grabbed all mouse input, but I could live with that.
Any ideas or help, how to circumvent the issue (and still being able to interact with the window manager) is appreciated.
