+ Request exclusive keyboard focus if this surface is above the shell surface layer.
+
+ For the top and overlay layers, the seat will always give
+ exclusive keyboard focus to the top-most layer which has keyboard
+ interactivity set to exclusive. If this layer contains multiple
+ surfaces with keyboard interactivity set to exclusive, the compositor
+ determines the one receiving keyboard events in an implementation-
+ defined manner. In this case, no guarantee is made when this surface
+ will receive keyboard focus (if ever).
+
+ For the bottom and background layers, the compositor is allowed to use
+ normal focus semantics.

+ This requests the compositor to allow this surface to be focused and
+ unfocused by the user in an implementation-defined manner. The user
+ should be able to unfocus this surface even regardless of the layer
+ it is on.
+
+ Typically, the compositor will want to use its normal mechanism to
+ manage keyboard focus between layer shell surfaces with this setting
+ and regular toplevels on the desktop layer (e.g. click to focus).
+ Nevertheless, it is possible for a compositor to require a special
+ interaction to focus or unfocus layer shell surfaces (e.g. requiring
+ a click even if focus follows the mouse normally, or providing a
+ keybinding to switch focus between layers).
+
+ This setting is mainly intended for desktop shell components (e.g.
+ panels) that allow keyboard interaction. Using this option can allow
+ implementing a desktop shell that can be fully usable without the
+ mouse.

- Set to 1 to request that the seat send keyboard events to this layer

Layer surfaces receive pointer, touch, and tablet events normally. If
you do not want to receive them, set the input region on your surface
to an empty region.
