PWA captures keyboard, OS shortcuts don't work
See original GitHub issueDescription
PWAs in Brave captures the keyboard, such that OS shortcuts don’t work (such as changing workspace). For instance, In Sway with the mod key set to either Super key or Alt key, switching workspaces with $mod + 3 doesn’t work when a PWA is the focused window. Issue only occurs when Brave is started with native Wayland/Ozone. Issue is resolved when clicking “Open in Brave”, or when Brave is started with XWayland.
Steps to Reproduce
- Install any website as a PWA (open in window checked)
- Start the PWA
- Observe OS keyboard shortcuts not working
Actual result:
OS keyboard shortcuts don’t work.
Expected result:
OS keyboard shortcuts should work as expected.
Reproduces how often:
Every time.

I believe this is the upstream (chromium) bug - https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1338554 Which lead me to these workarounds - https://www.reddit.com/r/swaywm/comments/vkgfza/comment/idp5g1h/ and https://www.reddit.com/r/swaywm/comments/vlvpws/chromeium_app_flag_spawns_windows_with_shortcut/
Confirmed that adding sashoism’s fix (thanks Ok-Tank2893) but modifying it for brave works:
Thanks for sharing! The fix works for me as well.
