Hi Chris!

I am a bit short on time, currently, but will test your code asap
next week, I hope. Thanks for taking care about that!

Good. I think it's worth to emphasize here that Alt-F in my case
(Linux Xfce4) was handled by the Window Manager and as such, Kicad
cannot handle that key properly when it doesn't get the events
from outside.
So, this is nothing Kicad needs or can take care about.

However, I don't know if there is a way to change the priority in
handling Keyboard/Mouse events in a way that an application can
handle events _before_ directed (back) to the Window Manager when
the application is active and in focus.

Regards,

Clemens
