+.IP \fIdisplay\fP 1i
+Specifies the connection to the X server.
+.IP \fIgrab_window\fP 1i
+Specifies the grab window.
+.IP \fIkeyboard_mode\fP 1i
+Specifies further processing of keyboard events.
+You can pass
+.ZN GrabModeSync
+or
+.ZN GrabModeAsync .
+.IP \fIkeycode\fP 1i
+Specifies the KeyCode or
+.ZN AnyKey .
+.IP \fImodifiers\fP 1i
+Specifies the set of keymasks or
+.ZN AnyModifier .
+The mask is the bitwise inclusive OR of the valid keymask bits.
+.IP \fIowner_events\fP 1i
+Specifies a Boolean value that indicates whether the keyboard events

+Specifies further processing of pointer events.
+You can pass

+or
+.ZN GrabModeAsync .
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.ZN XGrabKey
+function establishes a passive grab on the keyboard.
+In the future,
+the keyboard is actively grabbed (as for
+.ZN XGrabKeyboard ),
+the last-keyboard-grab time is set to the time at which the key was pressed
+(as transmitted in the
+.ZN KeyPress
+event), and the
+.ZN KeyPress
+event is reported if all of the following conditions are true:
+.IP \(bu 5
+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.
+.IP \(bu 5
+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 contains the pointer.
+.IP \(bu 5
+A passive grab on the same key combination does not exist
+on any ancestor of grab_window.
+.LP
+The interpretation of the remaining arguments is as for
+.ZN XGrabKeyboard .
+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),
+at which point a
+.ZN KeyRelease
+event is reported to the grabbing window.
+.LP
+Note that the logical state of a device (as seen by client applications)
+may lag the physical state if device event processing is frozen.
+.LP
+A modifiers argument of
+.ZN AnyModifier
+is equivalent to issuing the request for all
+possible modifier combinations (including the combination of no
+modifiers).
+It is not required that all modifiers specified have
+currently assigned KeyCodes.
+A keycode argument of
+.ZN AnyKey
+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
+.ZN BadValue
+error results.
+.LP
+If some other client has issued a
+.ZN XGrabKey
+with the same key combination on the same window, a
+.ZN BadAccess
+error results.
+When using
+.ZN AnyModifier
+or
+.ZN AnyKey ,
+the request fails completely,
+and a
+.ZN BadAccess
+error results (no grabs are established)
+if there is a conflicting grab for any combination.
+.LP
+.ZN XGrabKey
+can generate
+.ZN BadAccess ,
+.ZN BadValue ,
+and
+.ZN BadWindow
+errors.
+.LP
+The
+.ZN XUngrabKey
+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
+.ZN AnyModifier
+is equivalent to issuing
+the request for all possible modifier combinations
+(including the combination of no modifiers).
+A keycode argument of
+.ZN AnyKey
+is equivalent to issuing the request for all possible key codes.
+.LP
+.ZN XUngrabKey
+can generate
+.ZN BadValue
+and
+.ZN BadWindow
+error.
+.SH DIAGNOSTICS
+.TP 1i
+.ZN BadAccess
+A client attempted
+to grab a key/button combination already grabbed by another client.
+.TP 1i
+.ZN BadValue
+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.
+.TP 1i
+.ZN BadWindow
+A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.
