--- Comment #12 from Martin Flöser <mgraesslin at kde.org> ---
I think this is overall a wish which is just too complex. Peter's answer in the
libinput request is really good. You need to change all toolkits and all
compositors to support this. But changing the toolkits won't be sufficient.
Even the toolkit doesn't have enough information. For a browser it is obvious
where a close tab action should go to. But what to do if you have Kate in split
screen with multiple tabs and maybe a Konsole window with tabs. Then you have
three tab bars, where should the action go? No toolkit will be able to answer
such a question. The toolkit developers will notice such issues and thus not
add a general solution.

And then we are back to interact with each application. As I said in my first
reply: global shortcut triggering is pretty much the only possibility I can
think of.
