wl_keyboard::enter sends the list of currently-depressed keys to the

which is _exactly_ the problem this event is trying to prevent.

If we're making it an arbitrary list depending on whether it was a
compositor hotkey, or depending on how you're nested, the event becomes
useless as a guarantee and we might as well just drop it completely.

Thank you for stepping in on this. This is what I have been trying to say for quite a while, though I admit I would use the wrong terms a lot and may have confused things. I believe you are clearly stating what my objection to this patch is.
