--- A keyboard grabbing and transaction object.
--
-- This module allows to grab all keyboard inputs until stopped. It is used
-- to gather input data (such as in `awful.prompt`), implement VI-like keybindings
-- or multi key transactions such as emulating the Alt+Tab behavior.
--
-- Note that this module has been redesigned in Awesome 4.3 to be object oriented
-- and stateful. The use of the older global keygrabbing API is discouraged
-- going forward since it had problem with recursive keygrabbers and required
-- a lot of boiler plate code to get anything done.
--
-- Using keygrabber as transactions
-- --------------------------------
--
-- The transactional keybindings are keybindings that start with a normal
-- keybindings, but only end when a (mod)key is released. In the classic
-- "Alt+Tab" transaction, first pressing "Alt+Tab" will display a popup listing
-- all windows (clients). This popup will only disappear when "Alt" is released.
--
-- @DOC_text_awful_keygrabber_alttab_EXAMPLE@
--
-- In that example, because `export_keybindings` is set to `true`, pressing
-- `alt+tab` or `alt+shift+tab` will start the transaction even if the
-- keygrabber is not (yet) running.
--
-- Using keygrabber for modal keybindings (VI like)
-- ------------------------------------------------
--
-- VI-like modal keybindings are trigerred by a key, like `Escape`, followed by
-- either a number, an adjective (or noun) and closed by a verb. For example
-- `<Escape>+2+t+f` could mean "focus (f) the second (2) tag (t)".
-- `<Escape>+2+h+t+f` would "focus (f) two (2) tags (t) to the right (h)".
--
-- Here is a basic implementation of such a system. Note that the action
-- functions themselves are not implemented to keep the example size and
-- complexity to a minimum. The implementation is just if/elseif of all action
-- and the code can be found in the normal `rc.lua` keybindings section:
--
-- @DOC_text_awful_keygrabber_vimode_EXAMPLE@
--
-- Using signals
-- -------------
--
-- When the keygrabber is running, it will emit signals on each event. The
-- format is "key_name".."::".."pressed_or_released". For example, to attach
-- a callback to `Escape` being pressed, do:
--
-- mykeygrabber:connect_signal("Escape::pressed", function(self, modifiers, modset)
-- print("Escape called!")
-- end)
--
-- The `self` argument is the keygrabber instance. The `modifiers` is a list of
-- all the currently pressed modifiers and the `modset` is the same table, but
-- with the modifiers as keys instead of value. It allow to save time by
-- checking `if modset.Mod4 then ... end` instead of looping into the `modifiers`
-- table or using `gears.table`.
