Feature Request
Depends on upstream:
- InputCapture support for session persistence flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal#1898 (and those linked on the pr)
- Our wip feat: handle input capture session persistence #9415
Counterpart:
The Capture Input XDG Desktop Portal dialog shows every time Deskflow needs input capture for server mode. This is annoying to users, who want the dialog to show only once.
GNOME - Input capture (server mode):
KDE - Input Capture Requested:
Part of the work needs to be done in XDG Desktop Portal, but also needs to be done in the Mutter and KWin compositors. Other compositors are beyond the scope of this issue (but this does not limit someone attempting implementation).
Progress has been made already by @whot in XDG Desktop Portal as a draft PR, which will need to be completed:
the xdg-desktop-portal part of this is effectively done, but the compositor
integration of this is what is missing. That's also the hardest bit and
requires re-doing in every compositor (well, at least mutter, kwin, and
sway to make most ppl happy) to make it work across the board.
Maintainers & bounty: This issue and related bounty represents the entire work (including work to be done outside of this repo) so that a bounty can be created. Do not close as "not our bug".
