Bug Description

When trying to use a program that tries to make use of the `Inhibit Shortcuts` permission, for example a virtual machine program like virt-manager, gnome-shell ignores the permission and the shortcuts you press which should be inhibited/changed to do something else by the program, activate the gnome-shell's system shortcut instead.

This means that when I am trying to alt+tab inside my virtual machine, it instead alt tabs to a different window on my host rather than on my guest OS.

I believe this problem is fixed on gnome-shell 43.1. Could you please update gnome-shell43.1 to fix this issue.

System Info:
OS Name: Ubuntu 22.10
GNOME Version 43.0
Windowing System: Wayland
Gnome Shell: 43.0
