Gregory's Server@mort @jamey there's also a portal now for global keyboard shortcuts: https://flatpak.github.io/xdg-desktop-portal/#gdbus-org.freedesktop.portal.GlobalShortcuts
Waiting for all the push-to-talk apps to support it, though

@mort GNOME doesn't advertise support for it yet: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/xdg-desktop-portal-gnome/-/blob/main/data/gnome.portal KDE does have it: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/xdg-desktop-portal-kde/-/blob/master/data/kde.portal wlroots doesn't have it: https://github.com/emersion/xdg-desktop-portal-wlr/blob/master/wlr.portal  @jokeyrhyme The reason I asked is, my impression is that a whole lot of Wayland people see global shortcuts ans an anti-feature which shouldn't be supported. Therefore, the existence of a DBus interface specification doesn't really matter; what matters is whether Wayland people have actually reversed their opinion or not. So what I'm interested in is really official communication about intent. @mort interesting well, I guess it's technically not _in_ wayland, and I can see why as there is a fair bit of UX that is better implemented at the portal/desktop level I filed some feature request issues, let's see what happens: @mort agreed regarding naming, it's a little awkward xdg-desktop-portal as a concept works even in X11 (although it's less necessary there), so it's not even a wayland-specific thing let along a flatpak-specific thing Although, I certainly don't mind credit going to the flatpak folks seeing as they took some initiative and started addressing these features |
@jokeyrhyme That's interesting. Is it (or will it be) supported in GNOME?
Also, I really wish that portal stuff would separate itself from flatpak. It really isn't a good look to say that "flatpak portals" is the solution to all kinds of Wayland stuff that *should* be completely unrelated to flatpak. But that's neither here nor there.
