When I last looked at Wayland in 2018, a lot of automation tooling didn’t work (eg xdotool) and wouldn’t be able to work because of how Wayland was doing security in user space. Has that changed or is it still completely locked down?
Note I mean comparable tools, not things dependent on X11 APIs.
arewewaylandyet.com says there's ydotool and wtype.
Only ever used xdotool for simple stuff like typing out clipboard contents, so don't know how well they support more advanced functionality.
I really appreciate the full set of links! Are We Wayland Yet is great.
ydotool looks legit. I think the way it sidesteps X is smart. Now I’ve got something to play with this weekend! If the license commit is near the beginning, it showed up a couple of years after I stopped trying to port Autohotkey stuff.
