I am trying to use org.freedesktop.portal.GlobalShortcuts, but the related doc is insanely cryptic.
This is what I got so far. I can get a return from CreateSession, but then trying to do anything else, I get “invalid session”.
Environment is Qt6 on KDE6.
QDBusMessage(type=MethodReturn, service=":1.8", signature="o", contents=([ObjectPath: /org/freedesktop/portal/desktop/request/1_205/What_should_be_in_here]) )
QDBusMessage(type=Error, service=":1.8", error name="org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied", error message="Invalid session", signature="s", contents=("Invalid session") )
The source code, create a session, then try to get a list of registered shortcuts (which I think should return an empty list).
Code with cmake build file temp_wayland_shortcut · GitHub
