There is AutoKey for Linux and X11.
- bottom999mottob 2y agoAutoKey definitely has more features than this, but I think this looks easier to automate with pipes after a cursory look at the repo.
- BiteCode_dev 2y agoAnd it can wonderfully be programmed in Python. I miss it in wayland. It works sometimes, and sometimes not, which kinda defeat the purpose.
- tmtvl 2y agoThat's one tradeoff in Wayland versus the X Windowing System: if you want a process with the ability to send keystrokes X supports it while under Wayland you'll have to use compositor-specific facilities for every compositor you're willing to support (GNOME, KDE, wlroots, Weston,...).
- blahgeek 2y agoYeah. Although X11 is stable and mature and already have every tools we need, apparently Wayland is the new cool thing and we now need to reinvent every wheels (and sometimes for each WMs separately).
