As a kde neon user, the plasma 6 update broke all my global automaton shortcuts (like for example press win+u to automatically write a random uuid where the text cursor is). The script uses xdotool for this, and "it just works" every time.
On Wayland three is no xdotool, but there is ydotool (and a couple others). However for some reason they are not reliable (with and without xdotoold) and most of the times the pasted uuid is missing letters. I managed to get around this by using the clipboard to copy the text, and then I can manually paste it, but it's a extra step. Plus I have other scripts that deal with emojis and other Unicode characters, and it's either been a pain to work around or "It just doesn't work". I switched back to X11, and I'll probably stick with it a few years more.
But I'm still confusing, linux is the best platform for customization, and allowing you to automate things. However wayland seems like a block. I understand that it's a more modern project, probably more optimized and everything, but unless I'm missing a key toggle or tool to allow me to automate things, I'll try to avoid it.
