Clients can use this interface to prevent input events from being sent to
any surfaces but its own, which is useful for example in lock screen
software. It is assumed that access to this interface will be locked down
to whitelisted clients by the compositor.
Note! This protocol is deprecated and not intended for production use.
For screen lockers, use the ext-session-lock-v1 protocol.
Activates the input inhibitor. As long as the inhibitor is active, the
compositor will not send input events to other clients.
While this resource exists, input to clients other than the owner of the
inhibitor resource will not receive input events. Any client which
previously had focus will receive a leave event and will not be given
focus again. The client that owns this resource will receive all input
events normally. The compositor will also disable all of its own input
processing (such as keyboard shortcuts) while the inhibitor is active.
The compositor may continue to send input events to selected clients,
such as an on-screen keyboard (via the input-method protocol).
Destroy the inhibitor and allow other clients to receive input.
