Description

Some keyboard shortcuts in the Forge extension are not working properly on Fedora.
Not sure if this issue is specific to my machine or if it affects all Fedora installations.

Expected Behavior

All configured shortcuts should trigger their assigned actions consistently.

Actual Behavior

Some shortcuts fail to trigger or only work intermittently.

System Information

  • OS: Fedora 42
  • GNOME version: 49
  • Desktop Session: X11

Logs / Debug Info

If relevant, journalctl -f does not show shortcut events when they fail.

Additional Notes

This might be a Fedora-specific behavior, but I’m not fully sure.
Happy to test patches or provide more information if needed.
