Records what was measured this pass and, as importantly, what was not.
KGlobalAccel will accept a bare Escape and its component carries both a
pressed and a released signal, so hold-and-cancel is expressible. What
could not be measured here is whether a global shortcut takes the key
away from applications, because key injection cannot reach the nested
session. The mechanism says it does — KWin matches shortcuts in an input
filter ahead of the focused surface — which would cost the classroom
every ordinary use of Escape. That is inference, and it is written down
as inference, with the thirty-second bench test that settles it.
The recommendation is to change the gesture rather than grab the key an
appliance uses most: hold-to-confirm on an on-screen control, which is
ordinary Qt inside our own surface, or a modifier chord like the one the
maintenance terminal just proved. Either keeps the deliberate ceremony
without an input daemon.
