I get that Wayland doesn't play nice with global hotkeys, but I can't find anything about what to do if x11 global hotkeys aren't working.

Particularly, I'm trying to use OBS hotkeys so I can save a replay buffer.

I normally use Awesome WM, but I have also tested it in KDE. OBS does not seem to receive the global hotkeys in either case.

#

I just want OBS to be able to receive the key combos regardless of whether it is in focus or not

@polar badge what de/wm are you on?

I normally use Awesome WM

#

but I can also use KDE if that's easier to get the global hotkeys to work with that

#

@polar badge are your keybindings conflicting with your keybindings with awesome?

polar badge
#

I don't think so, but I tested it on KDE also, and it doesn't work there either

@polar badge what keybind is it?

ctrl + alt + 2

#

wait wtf

#

okay so it's an issue with my keyboard I think

#

because doing the key combo normally works even when not focused on OBS, but doing the key combo by pressing the macro key I set up only works when focused on OBS

#

weird

#

not sure why my macro key only works when focused on OBS, but that's a different problem I guess
