You can do screen captures on wayland. I've seen tools that were used to share a mouse and a keyboard to multiple computers kvm like that supported wayland so input capture seems to be possible to me.
My only gripe with wayland is that we seems to be lacking a common top level interface that is compatible with any compositor. Right now if some feature is not managed by the toolkit's wayland backend, devs need to have to implement compatibility with gnome's mutter, wlroots based compositor and kwin independently which doesn't seem to be a sane way of doing things. I wish all projects would converge into a common library like wlroots.
- wing-_-nuts 3y agoYou can, now, but it's still not up to the level of polish that we had in x11, and nearly all of these are janky workarounds to a self inflicted problem
- bitwize 3y agoThat will change, and you can expect support in Wayland to eventually surpass X11 because guess where all the developer effort is.

- prmoustache 3y agoBasic things have been sorted for a while already.
- _jal 3y agoBut not complicated things like, uh, dumping a representation of what's on screen to a file.

- prmoustache 3y agoThis has been possible for a long while already.
