Screen sharing and global hotkeys have been my only pain.
Pipewire and desktop portals have solved certain aspects of screen sharing, but not all of them (since apps arent updated to use those portals yet).
I feel like global hotkeys could easily be another portal. Let me flag apps with full global background listening ability, or simply let me say which keys an app can listen to. Then apps don't need a rewrite, they can keep just background listening as they always have, and my DE can decide what even to send to them.
If I don't want discord listening to keypresses, then discord will just think it's weirdly quiet without ever knowing if it has the permission. If I do want discord listening, then nothing has to change from Discord's end and it just starts working.
