GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 781063
Boxes on wayland keyboard focus to guest does not work
Last modified: 2018-01-11 10:51:08 UTC
On wayland the keyboard is not grabbed by the guest. This is rather annoying because pressing alt+f4 will close the boxes app. This problem does not seem to be present when running under X.
That's not a gnome-boxes issue actually, there is no grab on Wayland... But there is an alternative solution being discussed, in the form of a protocol to let apps disable the compositor own shortcuts, precisely for this use case.
Can you please give me a link to this discussion so I can follow along? Thank you.

Thanks, shall this issue be closed?
FWIW, I think we should keep it open, the problem is being worked on but it's still there.
Has this been fixed in GNOME 3.26?
It should, with the addition of keyboard shortcut inhibitor protocol.
