I don't think such feature belongs in Ion, but it should be
quite easy to write a program to handle grabbing/ungrabbing
the mouse when a key is pressed.
bool grabbed=FALSE;
Display *dpy=XOpenDisplay(NULL);
int kc=XKeysymToKeycode(dpy, XK_Scroll_Lock)
XGrabKey(dpy, kc, 0, DefaultRootWindow(dpy), False,
GrabModeAsync, GrabModeAsync);
while(1){
XEvent ev;
XNextEvent(dpy, &ev);
if(ev.type==KeyPress && ev.xkey.keycode==kc){
if(!grabbed){
XGrabPointer(... similarly to XGrabKey above,
mask=KeyPressMask; rtfm ...)
grabbed=TRUE;
}else{
XUngrabPointer(...);
grabbed=FALSE;
}
}
}
