-- Grab keyboard and read pressed keys, calling the least callback function from
-- stack at each key press, until stack is empty. </br>
-- Calling run with the same callback again will bring the callback
-- to the top of the stack. </br></br>
-- The callback function is passed three arguments: </br>
-- a table containing modifiers keys, a string with the key pressed and a
-- string with either "press" or "release" to indicate the event type.</br></br>
-- A callback can return false to pass the events to the next key grabber in the stack.
-- @param g The key grabber callback that will get the key events until it will be deleted or a new grabber is added.
-- @return the given callback `g`
-- @usage Following function can be bound to a key, and used to resize a client
-- using keyboard.
