The traditional insecure global shortcuts system works in Xorg.
i’m using wayland though, i’m probably too tired to be making too much sense anyway.
Xorg global shortcuts will work for anything using Xwayland, but not in anything thats wayland native
For example, in a game (using wine, which uses Xorg by default currently) your global shortcut will work. But in a wayland native window like Firefox, it will not if its the active window
oh i get it now. thats why i thought we already had it, im not usually aware of what is running under xwayland and what is not.
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
