"Clipboard Push" menu option

[alecpetrosky]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
As @andyholmes explained in #1215 currently there's no easy workaround/fix for global shortcuts on latest Gnome Wayland. On the other hand, the problem is some way similar to the Android 10+ path taken by Google restricting global clipboard access.

Describe the solution you'd like
We have a nice and secure solution on Android side when we can manually send Clipboard content to another device:

In my opinion, it could be great to have something similar in Gnome version of GSConnect (such as "Clipboard Push" menu option for each individual connected device):

Additional context
It would be quite straightforward solution which shouldn't require much effort to implement and which fits in the current security paradigm offered by Android/Gnome. I have no experience with Gnome Extension development but I could try to implement it if you'd like me to do so.

This seems like a duplicate of #1167.

The menu editor code was never completed, but clipboardPull and clipboardPush could be added to the GSettings default:

gnome-shell-extension-gsconnect/data/org.gnome.Shell.Extensions.GSConnect.gschema.xml

Lines 48 to 50 in 07ef895

	<key name="menu-actions" type="as">
	<default>["sms", "ring", "mount", "commands", "share", "photo", "keyboard"]</default>
	</key>

@andyholmes thanks for your valuable reply. Is the any global config for "stock" system-wide installed extension? If not, is downloading the source, changing defaults in gschema.xml and installing the extension the possible solution?

[andyholmes]

That file is basically the source of defaults, but it is compiled into a shared file by the system (or session). If you're installing from RPM or something, I guess a vendor override would be the easiest way to change that downstream.

Alternatively you could submit a PR with the changes to the above file. I don't usually weigh in on user-visible changes anymore, but if say @ferdnyc or @daniellandau don't have a problem with it we could probably merge it.
