I looked into this lately - Discord needs to use the Global Shortcuts Portal to do it properly but how is unclear. Discord is based on Electron which is based on Chromium. Chromium has support and Electron kind of has support since https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/45171 but this seems to be rather unknown and unused. Although somewhere in this API chain keyup events are lost, meaning that only "normal" shortcuts would work but no push-to-talk. There are multiple options for Discord to implement this: implement Global Shortcuts Portal directly, go via Electron global shortcuts API, hook into Chromium shortcuts API, maybe others - with the caveat that some of those don't support keyup events. Vesktop devs are currently stuck in same dilemma: https://github.com/Vencord/Vesktop/issues/18
