 When using the global menu widget on kde, all hotkeys/inputs will be ignored while davinci resolve is the active window. Using the following home-manager xdg.desktop entry will fix this.

+the proposed amd gpu configuration resulted in crashing after running davinci-resolve. The previous discussion already mentioned probably the same issue. I could fix it with another approach though:

+EDIT: It does not crash anymore like so but poses other issues such as not showing the clips and thumbnails.
