Ok, thanks.

:any is here to say to grab *all* keys. It's a way to avoid a loop on
all keycodes.

For information, my bible is here (CLX manual):

BTW I revert to the old strategie where clfswm grab only needed
keys. And I have add some cases to handle properly the shift key in
the main mode. I find this more logical than to grab all keys and let
pass those where clfswm has nothing to do with.
