I think it does SOEMTHING using dbus, so I assumed it must be somehow possible.

Okay, on second testing it seems that the shortcuts technically work, but they're basically unusable. You have to hold the shortcut for a solid second, and even then the letters are also send to whatever program you have open.
For example, I have show dock on Meta+Q, so holding that sends "q" to my firefox window :/

Antergos (Arch based).
I tried this in both Budgie and GNOME Shell.

Plasma devs responded the following: ------ kglobalaccel5 gets autostarted when needed and works on X11 unless the shortcuts are already taken by another de-specific shortcut system. On Wayland kglobalaccel5 needs support from the compositor which to my knowledge only KWin provides. No in-process solution could fix this. ------ In my Plasma system there is a kglobalaccel5 app running which is responsible for global shortcuts... > Plasma devs responded the following:

I don't use wayland. In X11 I expect the shortcuts to not also forward the pressed key to whatever the active application is. That said, this is obviously not a latte-dock issue and I guess if I want better support for KDE shortcuts in non-KDE, I would have to open a bug for kglobalaccel5 and make my case there.
Thanks for the information however. I've personally just switched to KDE Plasma so I don't have much of a personal interest in pursuing this further. Latte's integration with Activities is really neat..
