-- Grab keyboard input and read pressed keys, calling the least callback
-- function from the stack at each keypress, until the stack is empty.
--
-- Calling run with the same callback again will bring the callback
-- to the top of the stack.
--
-- The callback function receives three arguments:
--
-- * a table containing modifiers keys
-- * a string with the pressed key
-- * a string with either "press" or "release" to indicate the event type
--
-- A callback can return `false` to pass the events to the next
-- keygrabber in the stack.
-- @param g The key grabber callback that will get the key events until it will be deleted or a new grabber is added.
-- @return the given callback `g`.
