Title:
  disable automatic mouse grabbing

Status in QEMU:
  Expired

Bug description:
  I'm using QEMU 5.0.0 on a Gentoo Linux host system. Guest is an Arch
  Linux system.

  I'd like to disable automatic mouse grabbing when the QEMU window is focused.
  I would prefer for QEMU to grab the mouse only after a click.

  I use the i3 window manager on my host system.
  Suppose I'm in workspace 1, while the QEMU window is in workspace 2.
  In order to switch to workspace 2, I need to press the "Win+2" key 
combination ("Win" is the Windows key).
  The problem is that the character "2" (from "Win+2") will get transferred to 
the guest system.
  For example, if I have a text editor opened under the guest system, the 
character "2" will be pasted inside the document I'm working on, which is 
pretty annoying.

  I would like instead to press the "Win+2" key combination and then
  explicitely click on the QEMU window with the mouse before grabbing
  it.

  Command line:

  qemu-system-x86_64 -drive
  
file=/home/fturco/qemu/arch.img,media=disk,index=0,if=virtio,format=raw,cache=none
  -cpu host -m 2G -k it -enable-kvm -net nic,model=virtio -net user -vga
  virtio -display sdl -usb -rtc base=utc -soundhw ac97 -monitor stdio
  -no-quit
