Apps need to add support for the new portal system. Chromium is adding (or added?) support, so Discord may implement it once they use an Electron version with support.
If you’re using KDE, you can tell Discord to use X11 and use KDE’s feature to let X11 apps snoop on key presses.
I don’t understand why they wouldn’t allow you to manually override things, i hope this gets added later, i’d like to be able to forward shortcuts to apps for push to talk even if the app doesn’t support the native portal
Because if it is freely overridable (which it used to be, on X11), other apps can override it as well - including malicious apps. The portal adds an explicit path that ensures that the user is in control, but does need to see wider adoption first. Which will surely be helped by GNOME support.
Yes, but that amounts to the same thing. The restrictions that prevent you from manually overriding it are there to prevent any app from freely overriding it. There’s a way to only explicitly allow you to manually override it, and that’s the way that’s currently being built and requires ecosystem support.
Does anyone know what the status on KDE implementing this is?
Already merged there some time ago.
I can’t find any documentation on how to set it up, do you happen to know where that would be?
I can’t figure out how to setup discord push to talk on kde wayland, specifically

I didn’t say it should be freely overridden, I said I should be able to manually override it

It was implemented over two years ago.
I can’t find a way to manually add entries in the settings, is there no way to do that?
How would I manually enable push to talk in discord, for example?
You can’t. Apps need to support shortcuts in order to receive them…
For Discord, the X11 compatibility page has working options though.
