3ea623364b* fix: backport patch to fix systemd unit activation in Chromium This backports a patch from Chromium, which fixes systemd unit activation. That is, a globalShortcuts feature that Chromium has needs to create a systemd unit and rename it properly. Portal's global shortcuts uses that name afterwards to map the app with the shortcuts bound. However, there might be a race between Chromium binding shortcuts and renaming the unit. This is a first step to add Portal's globalShortcuts to Electron. * feat: Support global shortcuts via GlobalShortcutsPortal feature Chromium has a new feature called GlobalShortcutsPortal. It allows clients to use Portal's globalShortcuts to register and listen to shortcuts. This patches adds necessary bits, which allows Electron to use that feature. In order to make it work, one has to add --enable-features=GlobalShortcutsPortal Test: tested manually with a sample app. * docs: add GlobalShortcutsPortal feature to globalShortcuts docs Electron supports Portal's globalShortcuts API now via Chromium, and Electron apps can use that in a Wayland session. Update the docs with the required feature flag that must be passed to be able to use that implementation. |

Official Guides
Please make sure that you use the documents that match your Electron version. The version number should be a part of the page URL. If it's not, you are probably using the documentation of a development branch which may contain API changes that are not compatible with your Electron version. To view older versions of the documentation, you can browse by tag on GitHub by opening the "Switch branches/tags" dropdown and selecting the tag that matches your version.
