    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.
