Are we Wayland yet or Whats missing?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'd love to find an alternative to xdotool's auto type feature (or ClickPaste from Windows).
There is
wtype
but unfortunately it doesn't work in KDE nor GNOME because neither of them support the right protocol. I've run into the " hasn't implemented $PROTOCOL" a few times in the past and it's certainly a bit annoying.Aside from when that comes up, I don't really have any complaints. A tool we used for work was never going to be fully functional on Wayland because of its dependence on Xinerama (I think) but thankfully we've moved away from it.
I like ydotool, uses a systemd user service, but fulfills my needs of KB shortcuts to paste text into vnc sessions
Oh that is perfect, thank you! Funnily enough, pasting into VNC sessions is exactly what I needed something like this for as well - you've taken a lot of future pain out of my workday!
