I believe the discord app has some weird limitations around global shortcuts and push-to-talk when you use the browser tab instead of the desktop app.
One use case also used to be that you would use a browser tab for one discord account and the desktop app for another, but container tabs + browser profile switching made that less necessary. And then discord eventually added support for multiple accounts.

- bob1029 4y ago> global shortcuts and push-to-talk I think we are just 1 tiny browser API away from this one being solved too. If we can agree on a way to capture the pointer device, I'm sure we could figure out a reasonable way to capture certain user-defined keys. The actual key that is subscribed to can be abstracted away by using some registration API. I think this would eliminate key logger concerns (you'd have to ask the user for every key on their keyboard) E.g.: RequestGlobalHotkey('my-hotkey-id', 'Discord Push to Talk'); and then if the user presses it, we call something like OnGlobalHotkey(e) where the arg contains 'my-hotkey-id' and keypress state.
