From the XSetWMHints() man page (talking about the 'input' member of
the XWMHints structure, selected using the InputHint mask):
The input member is used to communicate to the window man
ager the input focus model used by the application.
Applications that expect input but never explicitly set
focus to any of their subwindows (that is, use the push
model of focus management), such as X Version 10 style
applications that use real-estate driven focus, should set
this member to True. Similarly, applications that set
input focus to their subwindows only when it is given to
their top-level window by a window manager should also set
this member to True. Applications that manage their own
input focus by explicitly setting focus to one of their
subwindows whenever they want keyboard input (that is, use
the pull model of focus management) should set this member
to False. Applications that never expect any keyboard
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
input also should set this member to False.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Pull model window managers should make it possible for
push model applications to get input by setting input
focus to the top-level windows of applications whose input
member is True. Push model window managers should make
sure that pull model applications do not break them by
resetting input focus to PointerRoot when it is appropri
ate (for example, whenever an application whose input mem
ber is False sets input focus to one of its subwindows).
That may be the answer you're looking for; then again, it may not. I
don't know enough about the internal structure of either Blackbox or
bbkeys.
