On Gnome Wayland applications which intend to expose global keyboard shortcuts but do so through the Gnome Shell settings custom keyboard shortcuts menu. It is also possible to set these via the command line via dconf or gsetting although the exact concoction must be known ahead of time. There is an Ansible dconf module which is not very clear how it would work for this use case. There are also some community modules, ansible-dconf, and ansible-gsetting which might fit the bill.

In any case, the following custom keyboard shortcuts are required:

1Password quick access - Alt-Shift-Space
ULauncher toggle - Alt-Space

This is not so straight forwards. Managed to set the relevant dconf variables to match a working system with some custom keybingins only for the Gnome Settings app to crash when attempting to load those settings.

Not actually tried this after a reboot, though. 🤔

Reboot didn't work. Not sure how to progress this now. Haven't tried gsettings yet, maybe it does other magic to make things not crash.
