      i’m using wayland though, i’m probably too tired to be making too much sense anyway.

        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

          Are you sure about that? KDE has a feature that lets Xwayland apps snoop if certain keys are pressed, but Gnome does not.

            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
