Not OP, but right now my biggest unfulfilled use cases are: - global keybindings (e.g. I would like variations on super+space with extra modifiers to trigger different behaviours in an application launcher, Kupfer) - remote control (x2x) --- I use this for essentially seamless kvm between different machines driving adjacent monitors - I have no choice but to use Zoom screen sharing for work

1. How did you do that with X11? I can't quite remember but I think the solution is wayland-compistor specific... 2. Check out Waypipe, it works really well and supports all application types unlike X11 forwarding. It's more like VNC but easy. 3. Last I checked Zoom screen sharing does work via the browser. The only feature I remember missing was screen control. Same experience with MS Teams too.

  (1) is done by just listening for input events. Any program can, globally. I believe in Wayland it's application-specific?

    Yeah, in X anyone can write a keylogger. Or do something really useful with it :-) (Personally I don't think this is a problem: if the attacker can run programs it's game-over already; just replace "su", "sudo", "firefox", or whatnot with your wrapper script which logs stuff, add ~/.local/bin to PATH by frobbing with shell rc, and presto)

I'm running Wayland and do all that. Fedora with compiz. NoMachine/AdminHands/KDEConnect for remote control

There's https://github.com/waycrate/swhkd https://github.com/waycrate/swhkd now. Didn't test it, but sxhkd is also an important part of my workflow. Still missing bspwm, lemonbar and dmenu (bmenu/fuzzel, maybe). For those who care, Steam is also a pain point, from what I've heard.

  Steam is indeed still not on Wayland, but generally speaking, it's worked well for me... It runs under XWayland which is 'fine' Games may find some benefit from gamescope: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Gamescope https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Gamescope
