dwl-patches/patches/globalkey

Description

This patch adds ability to pass specified in config header keys globally, somewhat in hyprlands approach. This might deal with waylands lack of global shortcuts.

Example:

static const PassKeypressRule pass_rules[] = {
	ADDPASSRULE("com.obsproject.Studio", MODKEY, XKB_KEY_Home),
	ADDPASSRULE("discord", 0, XKB_KEY_n),
    /* xkb key is case ignored */
};

will pass MODKEY + Home key to obs(flatpak version) regardless of what client is currently focused if any. String "com.obsproject.Studio" should be exact match for appid of the client. To get appid use 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 popup (like fuzzel) is focused, no key will be globally passed. This is done so these menus don't get closed after hitting some of the global keys.
