Gnome merges Global Shortcuts
-
Are you sure about that? KDE has a feature that lets Xwayland apps snoop if certain keys are pressed, but Gnome does not.
-
Yeah. The behavior i stated was how it works in Gnome. In KDE since Xorg passthrough is a formal thing, the behavior is different based on those options
-
It was implemented over two years ago.
-
Umm yes, they did take ages to support it. It took like 7 years...
-
I can't find a way to manually add entries in the settings, is there no way to do that?
How would I manually enable push to talk in discord, for example?
-
I don't understand why they wouldn't allow you to manually override things, i hope this gets added later, i'd like to be able to forward shortcuts to apps for push to talk even if the app doesn't support the native portal
-
tbf, Wayland was hardly relevant for some of that. the first feature request I found was 4 years go. implementing it also required upgrading electron a few versions, so a decent bit of work.
-
Because if it is freely overridable, other apps can override it as well - including malicious apps.
-
You can't. Apps need to support shortcuts in order to receive them...
For Discord, the X11 compatibility page has working options though.
-
I didn't say it should be freely overridden, I said I should be able to manually override it
-
Yes, but that amounts to the same thing. The restrictions that prevent you from manually overriding it are there to prevent any app from freely overriding it. There's a way to only explicitly allow you to manually override it, and that's the way that's currently being built and requires ecosystem support.
