+This request establishes a passive grab. The pointer is actively grabbed as
+described in GrabPointer, the last-pointer-grab time is set to the time at
+which the button was pressed (as transmitted in the ButtonPress event), and the
+ButtonPress event is reported if all of the following conditions are true:
+
+The pointer is not grabbed and the specified button is logically pressed when
+the specified modifier keys are logically down, and no other buttons or
+modifier keys are logically down.
+
+The grab-window contains the pointer.
+
+The confine-to window (if any) is viewable.
+
+A passive grab on the same button/key combination does not exist on any
+ancestor of grab-window.
+
+The interpretation of the remaining arguments is the same as for GrabPointer.
+The active grab is terminated automatically when the logical state of the
+pointer has all buttons released, independent of the logical state of modifier
+keys. Note that the logical state of a device (as seen by means of the
+protocol) may lag the physical state if device event processing is frozen. This
+request overrides all previous passive grabs by the same client on the same
+button/key combinations on the same window. A modifier of AnyModifier is
+equivalent to issuing the request for all possible modifier combinations
+(including the combination of no modifiers). It is not required that all
+specified modifiers have currently assigned keycodes. A button of AnyButton is
+equivalent to issuing the request for all possible buttons. Otherwise, it is
+not required that the button specified currently be assigned to a physical
+button.
+
+An Access error is generated if some other client has already issued a
+GrabButton request with the same button/key combination on the same window.
+When using AnyModifier or AnyButton, the request fails completely (no grabs are
+established), and an Access error is generated if there is a conflicting grab
+for any combination. The request has no effect on an active grab.

+Establishes a passive grab on the keyboard. In the future, the keyboard is
+actively grabbed (as for `GrabKeyboard`), the last-keyboard-grab time is set to
+the time at which the key was pressed (as transmitted in the KeyPress event),
+and the KeyPress event is reported if all of the following conditions are true:
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+A passive grab on the same key combination does not exist on any ancestor of
+grab_window.
+
+The interpretation of the remaining arguments is as for XGrabKeyboard.  The active grab is terminated
+automatically when the logical state of the keyboard has the specified key released (independent of the

+
+Note that the logical state of a device (as seen by client applications) may lag the physical state if
+device event processing is frozen.
+
+A modifiers argument of 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 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 BadValue error results.
+
+If some other client has issued a XGrabKey with the same key combination on the same window, a BadAccess
+error results.  When using AnyModifier or AnyKey, the request fails completely, and a BadAccess error
+results (no grabs are established) if there is a conflicting grab for any combination.
