Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
It's designed so that applications can register actions that can be
triggered globally (i.e. regarless of the system's state, like focus).

org.freedesktop.portal.GlobalShortcut:
@short_description: GlobalShortcut portal backend interface
This this portal lets applications register global shortcuts so they can
act regardless of the system state upon an input event.
To use this, an app will first create a session under which its actions
will be collected. Then shortcuts can be bound (see Bind), listed (see ListShortcuts).
It's up to the portal implementation to perform the registration
and tracking of that shortcut throughout the session's lifespan.
Upon a shortcut trigger, Activated will be emitted until when it's not
triggered anymore, then Deactivated will be issued.
