@postmodern Searching through the #spicegtk source code for the Wayland keyboard shortcuts inhibit protocol ("zwp_keyboard_shortcuts_inhibitor_v1"), but not yet seeing it implemented yet.

After mouse pointer fix is merged, maybe someone can work on getting the compositor keyboard shortcut inhibit working?

Currently with #remoteviewer, the mouse ungrab is broken so it steals mouse. Workaround: use ungrabbed keyboard shortcuts to escape the VM.

LabWC's solution is to use a ToggleKeybindings keybinding to temporarily disable all keybindings globally while you use the VM, then re-enable keybindings when your done. This is obviously not optimal if you're constantly switching between VMs and other windows.

How to allow app to capture keyboard shortcuts? · Issue #810 · labwc/labwc

I wonder if it is possible to use keyboard shortcuts in a virtual machine. For example, with a Windows VM, I cannot Alt+Tab, or some keybindings with Win+... With gnome, this can be done easily. It...

What solutions do Wayland users use for passing keybindings (ex: Alt-Tab) through to a VM being viewed with virt-viewer or remote-viewer in a Wayland WM? X11 had some kind of special hint to tell the WM to pass all keybindings through to the VM's viewer window. Do you just temporarily disable keybindings while viewing a VM? Is it possible to run virt-viewer or remote-viewer in a separate instance of Wayland/wlroots that only displays that windows and passes all keyboard input to it (e.g. the Wayland equivalent of xinit virt-viewer ... -- :1)?

#RemoteViewer is neat for quickly connecting to a #Spice enabled server, but Gnome-UI doesn't feel native on #KDE (what's that hamburger menu? Give me a menu bar!) - any better alternative that works with Spice?

If you want to answer:
- Use #VNC: No.
- Use #RDP: I'd like to, but the #Wayland-UX on KDE is … mediocre at best.
