No, it's the other way round. The X server gets the keypresses and
passes them on to the client(s). This application probably instructs
the xserver to send these keys only to the app and not to anyone else
(and neither interpret them itself).


https://tronche.com/gui/x/xlib/input/XGrabKeyboard.html states this:

The XGrabKeyboard() function actively grabs control of the keyboard
and generates FocusIn and FocusOut events. Further key events are
reported only to the grabbing client. [...]

If the keyboard_mode argument is GrabModeAsync, keyboard event
processing continues as usual. If the keyboard is currently frozen by
this client, then processing of keyboard events is resumed. If the
keyboard_mode argument is GrabModeSync , the state of the keyboard (as
seen by client applications) appears to freeze, and the X server
generates no further keyboard events until the grabbing client issues
a releasing XAllowEvents() call or until the keyboard grab is
released. Actual keyboard changes are not lost while the keyboard is
frozen; they are simply queued in the server for later processing.

I can do that eventually.
