Inhibit Shortcuts

This action inhibits Kando’s keyboard shortcuts. This means, any keyboard shortcuts defined in Kando will be disabled for the remainder of the workflow run.

If, for example, you have bound the global shortcut Ctrl+C to open a menu, you will not be able to copy selected text by simulating Ctrl+C with a Simulate-Shortcut action, as this would just open the menu again. By placing the Inhibit-Shortcuts action before the Simulate-Shortcut action, you can ensure that the simulated shortcut will actually copy the selected text instead of opening the menu again.

Caution

This action is not fully supported on all platforms as some can not disable global shortcuts without user interaction. This is for instance the case on KDE Wayland. On such platforms, this action will only prevent the shortcuts from triggering menus, but they will still be intercepted by the operating system and not passed to the currently focused application.

Options

This action has no options.
