<description summary="protocol for creating seat grabs"> | ||
This protocol allows a seat grab to be taken in less restrictive | ||
ways than 'xdg_popup.grab'. It allows a greater set of surfaces to | ||
perform a grab, and allows client-defined actions such as menu | ||
closing animations to take place following the clearing of a grab. | ||
|
||
The key words "must", "must not", "required", "shall", "shall not", | ||
"should", "should not", "recommended", "may", and "optional" in this | ||
document are to be interpreted as described in IETF RFC 2119. | ||
|
||
Warning! The protocol described in this file is intended as a stopgap | ||
and is expected to be superseded by a solution in wayland-protocols. | ||
Clients should not assume this protocol will continue to exist in the | ||
future. | ||

<description summary="create a seat grab"> | ||
This request creates a seat grab object. The compositor may | ||
respond with an 'active' event indicating the grab is now | ||
active or a 'cleared' event indicating it was denied. | ||
|
||
This request may be submitted with the serial number of a user | ||
event to inform the compositor that the grab has been requested | ||
as the result of a user action, or '0' if no serial is available. | ||
|
||
Compositors may deny a grab for any reason including a '0' serial | ||
or disallowed role, but may want to consider other conditions to | ||
allow the creation of a grab, such as being performed by a client | ||
with a newly created layer surface. | ||

This request destroys the seat grab. If active, the grab is cleared. | ||

If the grab is active, keyboard focus was requested for a surface prior | ||
to destruction, the surface is still focusable following destruction and | ||
leaving the surface keyboard focused makes sense for the compositor's | ||
focus model, the compositor should leave the surface keyboard focused. | ||
Otherwise, the compositor should re-determine keyboard focus following | ||
its usual procedure. | ||

wouldn't it make sense to also give an (optional) pointer surface request?

I'm not sure how much use a single pointer surface has. We could limit it to a set of surfaces but the client can also do that. I've matched the behavior to that of xdg_popup for now.
