Can I turn off keyboard shortcut for individual window?

[VaclavC]

I'am running one X app (Bricscad) under labwc. It works fine. But I have a global shortcut configured for window closing (Mod+Q in my case) and if I use it for Bricscad running under labwc, it goes to labwc window and closes it (and leaves that Bricscad running somewhere in some strange state). I need to turn off that Mod+Q shortcut for Niri managed labwc window and send it inside to close some Bricscad window. Is that possible? I have tried to put binds section in window-rule, but that's not allowed.

#630 makes it possible for windows to request inhibiting all compositor shortcuts. Otherwise no there's no way right now

That's clumsy, but better than nothing. It does not work for me, however. I have tried to pull last code, it allows me to add

Mod+I allow-inhibiting=false { toggle-keyboard-shortcuts-inhibit; }

into the config (I have something on Mod+Escape, so I want it otherwise), but it seems to do nothing. Even if I press Mod+I, Mod+Q still closes my labwc window. Is there any indication, if inhibiting is active or not?

How?

By asking via the keyboard-shortcuts-inhibit Wayland protocol.

That said, I guess this code lays the groundwork needed for niri-side inhibiting, but this code does not exist yet (and I'm not entirely sure it's needed, as in there's no better solution to this problem)

In your case maybe you could remap your inner Mod+Q shortcut to something else?

Will look into that, how to do it ;-)

Its a workaround anyway. What I really want here is to pass Mod+Q into the client window here.

That I have tried, to configure Mod+Q for labwc .. but it still closes labwc window instead.
