Cataloging progress of XDG GlobalShortcuts integration for applications on Wayland.
If you would like to add an application to track please submit a pull request.
Application Progress
GlobalShortcuts is an XDG Desktop Portal implementation that enables applications on Wayland to register and use global keyboard shortcuts. It allows apps to respond to specific key combinations while unfocused without needing direct access to all user input events.
Why this matters
Currently, some applications circumvent sandboxing and Wayland security defaults by requesting full input monitoring permissions instead of using GlobalShortcuts. This forces users to choose between application functionality and security. We want to track application support for the portal to highlight when developers move toward a secure "least privilege" model and support OS defaults.
