[kwin] [Bug 473570] Allow sending arbitrary keypresses to any chosen application
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=473570 --- Comment #6 from Antti Savolainen --- For future reference, it seems that a less nuanced way of achieving this already exists in the KDE settings. In Applications -> Legacy X11 App Support you can allow legacy apps to read key inputs. This sadly doesn't allow you to set specific keys as allowed and mouse forward and backward do not get passed. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=473570 --- Comment #5 from Antti Savolainen --- I've been lazy, but I finally decided to look into this. OBS keeps their feature requests in a separate location and I found a request for global shortcuts portal here https://ideas.obsproject.com/posts/2066/implement-globalshortcuts-portal -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

OBS just needs to implement the global shortcut portal. Afaict there isn't even an issue for that at https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/issues, so that would be the first step towards making that happen -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=473570 --- Comment #2 from Antti Savolainen --- Yep. Start/Stop OBS while in a fullscreen application for example. Make it so that kwin passes only the keys the user has explicitly specified to the specified program and none else. I'm thinking maybe make the functionality a bit more obscure to find. An "Advanced Options" button in the shortcuts menu which only appears if you install and additional package. This way developers will be less likely to start relying on it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=473570 Nate Graham changed: What|Removed |Added CC||n...@kde.org --- Comment #1 from Nate Graham --- The problem is that this somewhat defeats the Wayland security model and disincentivizes apps to implement the standard protocols. It's a complex topic rife with desktop politics for sure. What specific use case you you need this for? Start/stop recording in OBS? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
