-- $usage
-- Start a keyboard action with this if it is going to run something
-- that needs to do a keyboard, pointer, or server grab. For example,
--
-- > , ((modm .|. controlMask, xK_p), unGrab >> spawn "scrot")
--
-- (Other examples are screen lockers and "gksu".)
-- This avoids needing to insert a pause/sleep before running the
-- command.
--
-- xmonad retains the keyboard grab during key actions because if they
-- use a Submap, they need the keyboard to be grabbed, and if they had
-- to assert their own grab then the asynchronous nature of X11 allows
-- race conditions between xmonad, other clients, and the X server that
-- would cause keys to sometimes be "leaked" to the focused window.
-- | Release xmonad's keyboard grab, so other grabbers can do their thing.
