### Description
|
|
|
|
This patch adds the ability to pass keys that are specified in the config header globally, similar to Hyprland's approach.
|
|
This might deal with Wayland's lack of global shortcuts.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
```
|
|
static const PassKeypressRule pass_rules[] = {
|
|
ADDPASSRULE("com.obsproject.Studio", XKB_KEY_Home),
|
|
ADDPASSRULE("WebCord", XKB_KEY_n),
|
|
/* xkb key is case-insensitive */
|
|
};
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will pass the `Home` key (alongside with mods) to OBS regardless of what client is currently focused, if any.
|
|
The string "com.obsproject.Studio" should match the exact appid of the client.
|
|
|
|
To get the appid use [dwlmsg](https://codeberg.org/notchoc/dwlmsg) or run stock dwl from a terminal then launch the needed application inside, dwl will print all the info to the stdout.
|
|
|
|
Note that if a popup (like [fuzzel](https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel)) is focused, no keys will be globally passed.
|
|
This is done so these menus don't get closed after hitting some of the global keys.
|
|
|
|
## Warning
|
|
This patch is a stupid hack, it doesn't work all the time.
|
|
Examples: obs needs to be clicked on once before applying global hotkeys.
|
|
Electron (discord/webcord/chromium) with wayland backend ignores the very first press.
|
|
Other programs might not work at all.
