Semantics are: Any keyboard input that would go to this window has the possibility of being passed to another window (technically to another IDCMP port). Whether it is passed or not depends on whether it is a keystroke associated with something intuition can check, such as a menu selection. Give system requesters a menu consisting of amiga-v/b.
