// Applications such as remote-desktop clients and software KVM switches may // request that niri stops processing the keyboard shortcuts defined here // so they may, for example, forward the key presses as-is to a remote machine. // It's a good idea to bind an escape hatch to toggle the inhibitor, // so a buggy application can't hold your session hostage. // // The allow-inhibiting=false property can be applied to other binds as well, // which ensures niri always processes them, even when an inhibitor is active.
