Does GNOME or KDE have a way to block the Meta/Super key for a specific apps, like Virt-Manager or other VM sessions?

This would be useful for something like Teradici, where a user using a remote Mac may use the CMD, which is equal to Meta/Super/Win in a traditional/Windows keyboard.

One other thing to note, Meta key still needs to work on Teradici to use in the remote workstation.

My work uses Teradici for to remote into workstations and when a user remotes to a Mac, Mac (remote) & Ubuntu (host) shortcuts are cutting into each other because of <CMD>=<Meta>.

Virt-Manager is the same way, too where Meta key will trigger the desktop and the VM session's application launcher (as an example).

This question is similar to this.

Edit: Plasma has "ignore global shortcuts", but it's too aggressive because it ignored everything. Meta key is the only issue.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
