$ man gpg-agent
--grab
--no-grab
Tell the pinentry to grab the keyboard and mouse. This
option should be used on X-Servers to avoid X-sniffing at‐
tacks. Any use of the option --grab overrides an used option --
no-grab. The default is --no-grab.
So, adding "no-grab" to ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf should do what you want.
Granted. Unless you know that pinentry is always invoked and controlled by
gpg-agent it's not obvious that you have to look at the manual page of gpg-
agent to look for options to configure pinentry.
Hmm, the default should be "no-grab" according to the man page. According to
the history "no-grab" is default since gnupg 2.1.23 (released almost 8 years
ago). Maybe Debian decided that "grab" is better for you.
Regards,
Ingo
