Global shortcuts don't work with ZSA keyboard firmware.

Hi!

I had a copyq command that used the global shortcut Alt+D. The global command doesn't work with my Moonlander keyboard running ZSA's firmware. I have tried setting the global shortcut to unshared keys on my first layer and it still doesn't work. The command still works when I run it from the dropdown menu, it's just the global shortcut that doesn't work.

I have found a workaround. I create a bash script, write 'copyq eval " " ' and then paste whatever I had written in the copyq command in between the double quotation marks. Then I create a GNOME shortcut that runs the bash script. GNOME seems to detect the keystrokes, and the bash script does exactly the same thing.

However, I would like to at least put it on your radar that the global shortcuts don't work for some reason with my Moonlander.

For reference, here is my hardware and software:

  • Thinkpad P14s Gen 2 (with Ryzen 5650U processor)
  • Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS
  • GNOME 42.9 with Wayland
  • Moonlander Mk. 2
  • Wally keyboard firmware flasher V2.1.3
