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. These shortcuts can be
used by apps to react to the user input, regardless of the input focus state.
To use this, an app has to create a session under which its actions
will be collected. Then shortcuts can be bound (see Bind), listed (see ListShortcuts).
The portal implementation performs the registration and tracks the shortcuts throughout
the session's lifespan.
When a shortcut triggers, Activated is emitted. When it is not triggered anymore, then
Deactivated is issued.
