Description

In remote desktop apps or virtual machine apps like VMWare Horizon Client, shortcut keys like Win + R are not passed down to the application if their binding exists in the Hyprland config. Is there a way to tell Hyprland to pass down these shortcuts to the application if it's in focus?

I could use this app in an X11 environment like BSPWM but there are several reasons I don't want to switch; for example, the excellent multi-monitor support Hyprland has, gesture support and animations.

How to reproduce

Define a binding for Win + R in your Hyprland config:

# Just an example binding which launches Rofi
bind = $mainMod, R, exec, rofi -show drun

Launch a virtual machine (Windows 10/11)
Press Win + R in order to open the "Run" dialog in Windows.
Rofi launches instead of "Run" (which is undesirable)
