Thanks for looking into this, and the pointer. I guess, another option would be to not request shortcut inhibition, unless I'm misunderstanding its value? Unless there's a worry that some other application will be able to steal your password this way — it doesn't seem obviously warranted to me.
For example, `ssh-askpass-fullscreen` does not generate this prompt. It isn't clear to me that the fullscreen-ness of this implementation materially changes the risk profile, so either shortcut inhibition isn't useful, or I should file a bug against `ssh-askpass-fullscreen` to either request this privilege or document the gap. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to wayland in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1843201 Title: Unity in Wayland prompts for keyboard focus on each run of ssh- askpass-gnome Status in gnome-desktop package in Ubuntu: New Status in openssh package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in wayland package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: When using a Wayland-based Unity session on Ubuntu 19.04: 1.
