Under GNOME with Wayland, the Crow Translate feature to translate selected text with a keyboard shortcut only works with XWayland applications by default, but manually setting up the keyboard shortcuts gets this to work with any application, including pure Wayland applications, so I thought I'd write about how to do this.
