On at least some driver stacks, XI_RawButtonRelease is never delivered
to a client that hasn't grabbed the pointer, even though the matching
XI_RawButtonPress arrives fine — a bound mouse button then looks stuck
down forever, both when recording a hotkey and when using one. Taking
an active XIGrabDevice grab does fix delivery, but even with
owner_events set it blocks clicks from reaching every other window, so
it's not usable. XRecordInputHook taps the same core events xev sees
and isn't affected, so it now goes first on X11; XInput2 stays as the
fallback for servers where RECORD is disabled or missing, and gets a
correctness cleanup (real per-device event selection instead of the
XIAllMasterDevices pseudo-device) along the way.
