Hi,

No. Problem here is that input-linux is basically sniffing keyboard
input when the host owns the keyboard, so it can't prevent the hotkey
being seen by the host. Therefore I picked something which (a) has no
side effects (modifier keys only) and (b) is highly unlikely to be used
in normal operation.
cheers,
