Global Emacs keybinds through all the desktop not just Emacs

Hey, I've recently moved to Emacs for some tasks I used other applications for including Music-player/mpd control. I wonder has anyone managed to set these kinds that make you start these "apps" inside Emacs globally so you can activate them outside of Emacs? Like I use \`s-h h\` to activate \`helm-emms\` or \`s-h b\` to activate \`emms-browser\` and I would like to able to use these outside of Emacs.

If you don't find a decent answer you could maybe use https://gitlab.com/interception/linux/tools to catch some emacs keybindings and check the current window

Use exwm if you're on a linux. You can inherit your emacs keybindings. But within each individual application you might still need to change your keybindings

Really interesting however I don't want Emacs to be my because of it's single thread design (can Exvm look up?). The next is is the Exvm is X11 landlocked.

> can Exvm look up? Wdym? I think a regular technique is to start a second emacs alongside the one running EXMW that provides the server for emacsclient frames, but I am not on EXWM so IDK if its stable

bash already uses a bunch of emacs keybindings, as well as anything using gnu readline, so a good number of REPLs do as well

I use vimium and a customized about:config to have my Firefox have identical emacs keybinds. I also have set my gtk keybind setting to emacs keybinds so all gtk apps take emacs keybinds for text manipulation

Run emacs in daemon mode and map desktop keys to `emacsclient -c --eval (xxxx)` I think should work. But key sequences wouldn't work. You need one binding per action.

You didn't mention what OS you use. If you use MacOS, you can use [skhd](https://github.com/koekeishiya/skhd). It's a hotkey daemon and it supports \`modes\`, which allow you to specify a keybinding, such as \`s-h\`, to switch to a special mode of other keybindings, that you can then use to trigger things. [Here is a complex but robust example](https://github.com/nikhgupta/dotfiles/blob/osx/config/skhd/skhdrc) of what can be done with skhd and modes.
