Wishlist: Implement Global Shortcuts on Wayland

Currently the recommendation on getting global shortcuts on Wayland working is to manually register them in your compositor of choice. I was poking around for information on how to overcome this and came across the org.freedesktop.impl.portal.GlobalShortcuts dbus interface. It's been implemented in KDE for years and it looks like it has been implemented in Gnome 48, which is about 4 months old by now so you should have something to test against.

    Hello personcenobites​! 👋

    Thank you for the suggestion! This is something that's on our development team's radar and I believe that there's some experimental support for apps based on Electron (based on work done for Chromium) that could possibly create a path forward in the future. 

    I've passed along your comment and suggestions to the team. 

    -Dave
