-- Calling run with the same callback again will bring the callback -- to the top of the stack.

-- The callback function is passed three arguments:
-- a table containing modifiers keys, a string with the key pressed and a -- string with either "press" or "release" to indicate the event type.

-- A callback can return false to pass the events to the next key grabber 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` -- @usage Following function can be bound to a key, and used to resize a client -- using keyboard. --
