Sorry I have never looked into the specifics, but I read some way for flatpaks to listen for specific keybinds even in the background, it's mostly a permissions thing IIRC.

Sorry I'm assuming bazzite Fedora as well.

tried it on arch, nixos, fedora both native pkgs and flatpaks. no dice. push to talk only works when either in a game or when discord is focused. all via various wayland des/wms be it KDE, Niri, Sway, Hyprland, etc
