Yes, you clearly understand the problem, thank you. If there’s a problem with filesystem permissions you can use tools like chmod, chown, and setfacl to fix them in a variety of ways. How do you fix a wayland session if your app doesn’t properly support GlobalShortcuts? Where’s the chmod 777 equivalent that lets the user say “I know this means this can spy on everything I do but I’d prefer this work today instead of waiting on a bug fix.” Without something like this, the entire desktop ecosystem needs to mature before you can call Wayland “polished.”

    If it’s a Wayland application it will support global shortcuts. For X11 apps. If you are on KDE there’s this menu: Other DEs have different ways to deal with this. And if you are on Gnome, change DE. Gnome will always follow its own philosophy, because apparently it doesn’t align with yours, you should use something else.
