Hi Chris
Yes, it's a failing XGrabKey error.
I've included now a trap to catch the error, and in case XGrabKey
failed, the HotKey will simply be disabled.
The message in terminal will give you a note about that, but you could
run jalv.select in multiple instances (even if it makes no sense)
Indeed, it's hard to find a free HotKey for any Desktop manager, I've
chosen SHIFT+ESCAPE, as it is free here on cinnamon, and my research
didn't pop up a use of it in other Desktop managers. Which desktop do
you run?
Also free here is SHIFT+CONTROL+ESCAPE, which I could set alternatively.

I'm all open for patches, pull requests or what ever, gut, I've never
interact with DBus,
