Completely captures keyboard #337

Description

The app completely captures all keyboard interaction, including system keys.

Previously Samsung Dex still processed system key presses (Win+Key, back etc) before sending to the app, so they still worked.

However, with the new Samsung Dex on One UI 8.0, now built on the native Android desktop, the app now seems to have priority over these keys.

Granted, in some cases this may be desired, such as when you want to work solely within the VNC session, and want the Windows/Super key etc to be sent to the server.

But it is not ideal in all situations. If I want to quickly switch to another app on Android, it can't be done using the keyboard. Likewise, there does not seem to be a way to close the connection using just the keyboard, as the back button combination is also captured.

For reference, bVNC Pro and Termux:X11 are similar apps that seem to still allow system key overrides within the new Dex.

Perhaps this could be made an option that allows a choice between whether you want to capture system keys or not?

Thanks again for your great work.
