Description Georges Basile Stavracas Neto 2016-07-19 15:40:01 UTC 
Per IRC chat, this is needed in Wayland because Gtk+ grabs are not enough. Also per IRC discussion, this probably needs to be a private DBus API addition.
Comment 1 Rui Matos 2016-07-19 15:52:07 UTC 
This could be a simple dbus method call in org.gnome.Shell like

<method name="GetAccelerator">
 <arg type="s" direction="out" />
</method>

that just returns the next key combo in the standard shortcut string format we already use, bypassing mutter's existing keybindings.

Obviously this should only be used by g-c-c but since we can't really limit DBus API access just yet, it needs to at least be appropriately rate limited, limited to a single client, etc.
Comment 2 Olivier Fourdan 2017-10-04 14:26:18 UTC 
That's shortcuts-inhibitor protocol, supported in gnome-3.26
