keymon not catching keys in some windows.

[vdegenne]

I'm trying to screencast my keys using key-mon but in some terminal it won't work, here's a demo:

screencast_2024-12-10_23-22-43.mp4

What could be the reason behind that?
I remember having issues using a different layout in Alacritty too in the past.

A guess: this keymon uses X11 keyboard grabs and they don't work in wayland-native apps :)

@ammen99 hey yes that was it. If I start Alacritty with WAYLAND_DISPLAY empty it works
