On Wayland, XGrabKey via XWayland is not forwarded by most compositors. The new Linux implementation tries evdev first (works on Wayland and X11 without compositor-specific support — requires 'input' group or systemd-logind seat ACLs, which GNOME/KDE grant automatically). Falls back to X11 XGrabKey for plain X11 sessions or when evdev devices aren't accessible. The log now records which backend was selected. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
discord-lobby-mute
Runs in the system tray as a console app. Press a configurable global hotkey to toggle server-mute for everyone in a Discord voice channel.

- Create a bot at https://discord.com/developers/applications
- Enable Server Members Intent under Privileged Gateway Intents
- Grant the Mute Members permission when inviting it to your server
- Place
config.jsonnext to the.exeand fill in your values (see below) - Run
discord-lobby-mute.exe
config.json
{
"token": "YOUR_BOT_TOKEN",
"guild_id": "YOUR_SERVER_ID",
"channel_id": "YOUR_VOICE_CHANNEL_ID",
"keybind": "ctrl+shift+m",
"exempt_users": ["YOUR_DISCORD_USER_ID"]
}
exempt_users is optional. Any user IDs listed there will never be muted. Add your own ID to exclude yourself when pressing the keybind.
To get IDs: enable Developer Mode in Discord settings, then right-click a server, channel, or user and choose Copy ID.
Keybind format
modifier+modifier+key — modifiers come first, key last. Case-insensitive.
Examples: ctrl+shift+m, alt+f9, ctrl+alt+delete
