It can absolutely be like that. Global keyboard shortcuts not working is a deliberate design choice in Wayland (as is non-foreground apps not having access to the clipboard).




Gnome is bringing global shortcuts AFAIK in the next stable version

Yeah but now everything's platform-specific. We'll have a KDE version, a Gnome version, a wlroots version, ...

I bet dollars-to-donuts it won't work with X11 apps

I can’t speak to the GNOME side of things, but I’ve been enjoying global shortcuts on KDE Wayland for years now. No issues to report whatsoever.

There's no reason it couldn't.

Yes there is; Xwayland won't support it.

So what? Xwayland doesn't support file selectors, but XDG has a portal that handles it fine.
