In the last days I tried to do this, but failed. I was curious to add this so the user has the opportunity to so something when the app UI is not visible while the service is running in the background. I thought to a shortcut to toggle the global bypass.

First I tried to follow some ChatGPT guidelines, but it was not working.

Then I tried to follow what it's done in the following two projects:

I think this is the right approach since they are working (at least for Ghostty they say it's working; I don't know for sure about GTK screen recorder).

The problem is that when I test it, I don't get the Gnome popup to bind the shortcut (which I saw months ago for Chromium that was asking me to bind a shortcut for an extension in the browser).

I fixed all the returning errors, but D-Bus calls get done right, but I'm surely missing something because I don't get popup to associate to bind the shortcut (and, as a consequence, I can't test the Activated signal).

Since the Qt port is in progress, this should be done there, but I am more confident on the GTK side, so I tried on the main branch. The code is here (just the latest commit): https://github.com/Digitalone1/easyeffects/tree/bypass_shortcut

@wwmm Since it's not working, I didn't want to make a PR, but would you like to take a look? Do you want me to make a PR anyway to test on your end?

Uh oh!
