I've very much used to that kind of shortcut:
Super + Space => gpaste-client show-history

However it suddenly stopped working after the latest gnome 48 updates.

I tried to replace it with Alt + Space, or to go back to default (Ctrl+Alt+H),
but now they only work in some applications (e.g. chromium).

Maybe something is wrong with gpaste. Is there a way to check which shortcuts
are detected by mutter ?

Try looking in Settings (gnome-control-center) > Keyboard > View and
Customize Shortcuts

I see a Gpaste section there since I have gnome-shell-extension-gpaste
installed and enabled.

GNOME 48 introduces a new feature called "Global Shortcuts" powered in
part by xdg-desktop-portal-gnome. There may be bugs with that feature
and it also may need integration work on the Gpaste side. I don't know
the technical details very well here.

Thank you,

I tried to delay the workaround done by gpaste using this patch,
but it doesn't work.

Any idea ?

Last version doesn't fix the issue at all.

A simple workaround is to remove the shortcuts set by gpaste, and re-add them
as "custom shortcuts" that call gpaste-client commands.

For example, to show the gpaste menu:
gpaste-client show-history
