D17304: Introduce a command line option to disable any kind of global shortcuts

graesslin added a comment.


  Well, I would certainly not want to expose a config option to disable VT switching. I think for e.g. a Plasma session that's a must have, for an embedded system it's a no-go.
  
  The idea for this change is inspired by some requirements from $work. We provide a machine control interface and use kwin_wayland as the Wayland compositor (touch input, but also keyboard and mouse present). Obviously **I** can configure the system in a way that it's unbreakable, but the average KWin user would not know how to do it. And even if I had kiosk it would not be the best solution as I also use this on the dev system. To test the Wayland session I can just run kwin_wayland in my normal session. With kiosk I would have to mess around with my system, with the command line switch I get what I need. KWin is really awesome for such a use case and way easier to setup than e.g. QtCompositor. This change would make it just a little bit easier for such setups. Granted it's not the most common use case, but it might be something interesting to explore.
