| 1. Using hotkey press simulation through Kando will not work for triggering keybinds registered in your Niri configuration. In that case, have Kando run a command ```niri msg action <action>``` where the action is the one configured in the your configuration along with its arguments (for example `niri msg action focus-workspace-up` or `niri msg action focus-workspace 1`) | ||

| 2. While `xdg-desktop-portal-gnome` (the XDG Desktop Portal used by Niri) lets you register keybinds for Kando, their triggering isn't implemented by Niri or `xdg-desktop-portal-gnome` and therefore don't work. They might be implemented in the future. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
I think it would be cool to add a sentence how this should be done instead for now. Like "For now, you need to trigger your menus using kando --menu "Menu Name" from your niri config. Like this..."
What do you think?
