I have run Wayland since it was available for testing on Fedora Workstation and I have had zero problems inputting Japanese and Chinese. With regards to accessibility, what problems have you had exactly?

  Is there a bug report for this anywhere? Does everything work now?

    I vaguely remember someone made a blog post about it and got piled-on. I think it's now fixed or being fixed.

I think that gnome has had built-in IME, but at least for a long time, it wasn't possible to use a third party system with gnome, or use gnome's with other compositors. And I'm pretty sure the situation was the same for sreen readers and on-screen keyboards. The wlroots project created their own protocols to support external applications to provide such features, since that is out of scope for a compositor like sway, but there are still missing pieces.

2 finger scroll doesn't work on my thinkpad model. Not a bug, apparently. https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libinput/libinput/-/issues/1059 https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libinput/libinput/-/issues/10...

> I have had zero problems inputting Japanese and Chinese. That may be fine. Neo2 does not work. Neo has 3 modifier keys, Gnome/Mutter/Wayland/Whatever does only support two. Neo2 has a compose key, Wayland does not honor it. https://neo-layout.org/ https://neo-layout.org/ I use mod4 for navigation (arrow keys, site up) and compose for Slavish (read Polish) input (źżąę)
