Global Hotkeys #146

Open jmariondev opened 2 years ago

jmariondev commented 2 years ago

Wayland's input model causes issues with programs that attempt to provide global hotkeys (key bindings that work when the application is not in-focus). Notable examples include push-to-talk keys (Mumble, Discord, etc.) and start/stop record/stream in OBS.

There is a proposed xdg portal to address this: https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/issues/624 / https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/pull/711 (merged! :tada:) GNOME Tracking Bug: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/2838 (+ https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/xdg-desktop-portal-gnome/-/issues/47 )

Mumble: https://github.com/mumble-voip/mumble/issues/5257 OBS: https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/issues/4992 (closed as WONTFIX)
