    There is an xdg-desktop-portal which an application can use to register a global shortcut.

    https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/blob/main/data...

    Not sure which compositor support this and which ones don't. Hyprland, which I use, supports it.

    There is also ydotool, which can emit key presses anywhere in Linux by registering a virtual uinput device.

    https://github.com/ReimuNotMoe/ydotool

    Using these two building blocks, it should not be very difficult to implement an application that implements global macro support.

    Up to the compositor.

    >Global shortcuts

    Also up to the compositor. Was added to xdp in https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/blob/main/data... so it's up to the compositor's xdp impl to provide it. It was created by a KDE dev so I assume KDE implements it at least.

    Works just fine. I use OBS.

    Never had any trouble with it.

    > - No proper global keyboard shortcut

    > - No push to talk support

    On its way: https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/pull/711 / https://flatpak.github.io/xdg-desktop-portal/#gdbus-org.free...

    > - Several problems with multiple screens

    Haven't had any more than on X11, but then again I do use Nvidia hardware on Linux.

    It might help, but at this point Linux containers can't really stabilize the whole environment, especially for games. Particular pain points include accelerated graphics (which theoretically can have a stable kernel interface, but in practice is so complex and performance-sensitive that it's not stable enough to be a "reference platform", so to speak) and modern game controllers (which present a whole mess of concerns typically "addressed" in Flatpak by granting the device=all permission and hoping for the best [1]).

    I also know a guy who ran into issues with a kernel update breaking a custom allocator, although I don't know the fine details. That wasn't for a game, but games also use custom allocators for various reasons.

    I don't use Wayland, but it seems xdg-desktop-portal since 1.16.0 has a 'Global Shortcuts portal'. Perhaps check it out.
