@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.

@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:
- github.com/pop-os/xdg-desktop-
- gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/xdg-des
- github.com/emersion/xdg-deskto

@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
