--- Comment #6 from Martin Gräßlin <mgraess...@kde.org> ---
So these are two very different issues:
* global shortcuts
* meta shortct

The global shortcuts can only trigger if no other window has grabbed the
keyboard. If they trigger on the host, the client has failed to grab the
keyboard. This is a problem with the application. If a global shortcut is
intercepted, the application does not get the key event. This is expected
behavior.

Concerning meta: the modifier only shortcuts are triggered independently from
the grab state of applications. That is whenever meta is pressed - without any
other key, it will fire on the host system.

I'm not sure whether it would be a good idea to change that. It's a well
defined state of the system now that pressing meta will open the launcher - no
matter which application is open or what it does. I see both advantages and
disadvantages there. There are multiple such keys already which cannot be send
to the guest system. E.g. ctrl+alt+F1 cannot be send. Normally VMs provide
solutions for that.
