SUMMARY I can't set any shortcuts in any option. Tried setting shortcuts that ask to be reassigned, shortcuts with only 1 key, and the Default shortcut. There are no shortcuts set in GNOME that would interfere with it STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open Spectacle (tested only via Terminal) 2. Open the "Configure..." dialogue 3. Open the "Shortcuts" tab 4. Click on any shortcut 5. Type any shortcut OBSERVED RESULT When setting a "Global" shortcut: The selected option is always "Custom". When a shortcut is typed, it disappears. Only 'Control' keys (Control, Alt, Shift or Super) are previewed, if pressed before a 'non-Control' key. All keys are shown if the shortcuts need to be reassigned, and the 'Control' are shown duplicated, after a comma and a space, and before a plus sign. Selecting the "Default" option only dims the selection button When setting a "Global Alternate" shortcut: It's possible to choosing between the "Default" and "Custom" option. When setting any shortcut, it doesn't disappears if another window is focused (including Spectacle itself) neither if I switch to another tab, or if I press the "Cancel" or "OK" button (I've tried to run the shortcut after pressing the "OK" button, but it didn't work). It only disappears if I select the "Default" option is selected or if I select another shortcut to set EXPECTED RESULT The shortcuts are set SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Debian 11 (stable) ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I'm using GNOME 3.38.6 I don't know if I should or not report if I'm using GNOME
X11 or Wayland? Spectacle relies on Plasma's shortcut infrastructure , which doesn't work/conflicts with Gnome's. On X11 it can kind of work, on Wayland it completely doesn't

I suppose I'll close this since we don't have a way to set global shortcuts on GNOME. If we want it to be possible to do that, it should be done via XDG standards/by extending the libraries we use for setting shortcuts rather than doing app and DE specific shortcut infrastructure.
