I want to use Wayland, but it breaks a few tools I use (Autokey [0], marathon [1]) as they depend on X-specific tooling/APIs (for marathon: wmctrl, xdotool). So I'm disabling Wayland for now even though I'd like to use it (for starters, simply to roll with GNOME's boat, since Wayland is the default on Arch).
--> Are there Wayland equivalents to wmctrl and xdotool? Any plans for them? If no, does Wayland provide a complete-enough API to write similar tools for Wayland?

- erelde 10y agoWayland isn't the default on Arch, it has no default by default.
- ronjouch 10y agoRight, let me reformulate: Wayland is what you get by default on Arch when you go with the gnome/gdm stack. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GDM#Use_Xorg_backend https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GDM#Use_Xorg_backend
