grab with click and automatic ungrab is posible?

For usage reasons, I need the mouse to be grab only when clicked, and never when the pointer passes over the guest window.

so I have disabled "automatic mouse grab"

But it would be very helpful for me to ungrab the mouse when the cursor leaves the window, since sometimes I do not have a keyboard nearby to press ctrl + alt, only mouse.

Can you have both cases at the same time?

thanks

Hi,

No I think you can do it, He also talks about it in these posts:

I would like "automatically grab and ungrab the mouse" to be two separate settings.

like "automatically grab the mouse" and "automatically ungrab the mouse".

is there any way to do it from the VM config file?
