Unable to use keyboard shortcuts

[ViniiR]

hi, first of all I'm on NixOS and using cinnamon DE(X11)
I've successfully been able to set up keyd and I can confirm this because remapping capslock = q works as expected whoever I've tried the following:

[control+shift]
p = command(firefox)
m = command(firefox)
w = command(wezterm)

and it does not work no matter the variations i try
my intention is to make Control+Shift+p open Firefox the other keybinds are just to see if it's a problem with p, keyd successfully registers key presses when using "sudo keyd monitor" (sudo is necessary for some reason) I am unaware if it's a compatibility problem with cinnamon or if I just miss used the syntax

sudo is necessary for some reason

Intercepting and generating keypresses is inherently a privileged action. You wouldn't want all your programs to be able to do that.

That is also the reason why using command() is discouraged for arbitrary applications, especially something like a web browser. You may be able to get it to work by changing the user and setting the appropriate DISPLAY variable, but for hotkeys you're much better off using your WM's config or something like <https//github.com/baskerville/sxhkd>.
