From: Gustavo Noronha Silva <gustavo@noronha.dev.br>
Applications such as Gnome may use Alt-Tab and Super-Tab for different
purposes, some use Ctrl-arrows so we want to allow qemu to handle
everything when it captures the mouse/keyboard.
However, Mac OS handles some combos like Command-Tab and Ctrl-arrows
at an earlier part of the event handling chain, not letting qemu see it.
We add a global Event Tap that allows qemu to see all events when the
mouse is grabbed. Note that this requires additional permissions.

Extra space between cast and userinfo? Do you need explicit cast at all?
In C at least void * does not need explicit cast, not sure about
Objective-C but if it's not needed you could just remove the cast.
