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.impl.portal.GlobalShortcut:
@short_description: GlobalShortcut portal backend interface
This portal lets applications register global shortcuts so they can
act regardless of the system state upon an input event.
-->
<interface name="org.freedesktop.impl.portal.GlobalShortcuts">

CreateSession:
@handle: Object path for the #org.freedesktop.impl.portal.Request object representing this call

@options: Vardict with optional further information. See @org.freedesktop.portal.GlobalShortcuts.CreateSession
@response: Numeric Request response

Create a global shortcuts session.
The following results get returned via the #org.freedesktop.portal.Request::Response signal:
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term>shortcuts a(sa{sv})</term>
<listitem><para>
The different shortcut ids that the app needs. For those that had already been bound on previous runs, they are mapped to user-readable descriptions of the trigger. This can be used by the app to describe the shortcut to the user.
By default these shortcuts are not bound. To bind them, BindShortcuts needs to be called for the portal
to assign a trigger to a shortcut.
They are mapped to a list of pairs including:
- description: User-readable text describing what the shortcut does
- shortcut: A string that contains a suggestion of a default shortcut, defined as described in the "shortcuts" xdg-spec.
