Implement keyboard-shortcuts-inhibit-unstable-v1

There's probably a few use cases for this in quickshell, but the one i'm interested in is getting an interface for creating keybinds. Without it it gets eaten by the compositor.

Usage is as follows:

import Quickshell.Wayland

ShortcutsInhibitor {
    window: root // PanelWindow
    enabled: root.recording
}

This does not look helpful for creating keybinds and I can't think of much to use it for apart from making misguided lock screens that don't work properly.

Can you explain exactly what you want to do with it and why having your compositor run qs ipc does not solve it?

Specifically, I want to integrate a settings screen for configuring niri keybinds into my shell. Which is now possible with niris config include branch.

It's not possible to have a keybind input field without it. (If I want to overwrite one that's already bound)

This is the type of input field I have in mind
