Xorg global shortcuts will work for anything using Xwayland, but not in anything thats wayland native
For example, in a game (using wine, which uses Xorg by default currently) your global shortcut will work. But in a wayland native window like Firefox, it will not if its the active window
Yeah. The behavior i stated was how it works in Gnome. In KDE since Xorg passthrough is a formal thing, the behavior is different based on those options
i could have sworn it was already working for me on gnome, im surprised by this
but then again i havent used discord in a huge while now
The traditional insecure global shortcuts system works in Xorg.
i’m using wayland though, i’m probably too tired to be making too much sense anyway.

oh i get it now. thats why i thought we already had it, im not usually aware of what is running under xwayland and what is not.
Are you sure about that? KDE has a feature that lets Xwayland apps snoop if certain keys are pressed, but Gnome does not.
