Description
Currently livesplit doesn't properly support hotkeys on Wayland, instead relying on the input group and X11's (broken and insecure) functionality.
As of xdg-desktop-portal v1.16, global hotkeys are possible and are implemented already in KDE and are being worked on for GNOME.

Research direction
Start by locating the Linux hotkey handling that currently relies on the input group and X11, then review how xdg-desktop-portal global hotkeys are supported. Done means global hotkeys work on Wayland through the keybinding portal rather than depending on X11 or the input group.
