Isn't the global menu a qt thing? Either that or I heard that they were trying to get gtk on board with it back when gtk3 was the latest stuff and the gnome people refused, so that might just be a protocol. Either way, this would be cool to have, but it might require KDE frameworks (tons of deps).

The Wayland protocol is simple enough: https://wayland.app/protocols/kde-appmenu

The hard part is that it requires drawing a menu to a wl_surface, which would be a lot of work. Also, events need to be handled with DBus (maybe the work done in https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/13098 could help?)
