You don't have to type faster to type faster
If you want a standalone cross platform text expander I currently enjoy using Espanso[1]

Bad Emacs Defaults
Huh, didn't know abbrev had that limitation (wonder why?). Gave it a go in espanso (https://espanso.org/), and it does work there.

Show HN: I automated 1/2 of my typing
I use a tool called "Espanso" to accomplish something similar at work. It only runs locally, so no weird data scraping issues to worry about. And it's easy to update as things changes becauase everything lives in a simple yml file.
https://espanso.org/
It can do simple text replacement, so I have words, phrases, and sentences I use frequently compressed into a few keyboard clicks. It can also grab what is in your clipboard, so that can be incorporated into responses, which is simple but very handy.
A simple text replacement looks like this in the yaml file:
- Cannot get espanso to work on Debian 12 (stable)

Improving cursor rendering on Wayland
Wayland provides little by design, so this is quite typical. For example:
Screensharing is handled by pipewire [0], changing keyboard layouts aren't defined [1] by wayland, and generally anything Wayland devs think would 'corrupt' their protocol.
They leave most things to the compositor to implement, which leads to significant fragmentation as every compositor implements it differently.
Long gone are the days of xset and xdotool working across nearly every distro due to a common base, now the best you'll get is running a daemon as root to directly access `/dev/uinput` [2] or implementing each compositors accessibility settings (if they have them) as a workaround.

how hard is it to program pinch zoom for my touchpad in linux?
I personally use libinput-gestures to call commands using touchpad gestures. You can also combine it with ydotool to bind macros and such to your gestures, e.g. 4 fingers swipe down closes the current window, 3 fingers swipe left or right changes workspace, etc

ydotoold background process?
Have you tried using the systemd unit file supplied with ydotool? It's probably installed somewhere on your system. Else you can get it here and just change the install location of ydotoold.

KDE-Connect keyboard input works on Wayland now!!
For simulated keyboard there are tools such as dotool or ydotool and KeePass extensions such as KPUInput that work by giving the user access to /dev/uinput. That works, but it's a bit inelegant; I guess in the future a Wayland protocol for simulated keyboard input will emerge, like wlroots already has, also for virtual pointers.
-
Out of curiosity, I tried to use Wayland earlier and compared to X11, everything seems to load faster which really surprised me. However, I've also noticed some things that confused me, that's why I'm posting this. To ask what I'm missing or what I did wrong. Thanks as always!
ydotool is the generic equivalent. It works on both X11 and Wayland environments.

Curious to know what are your general experiences on using keyboard and mouse input automations on Wayland...
Autokey does not work yet, but there is Hawck and Espanso that you could play around with. And there is ydotool if all you need is simulating basic input (as in ydotool mousemove -x -10 -y -10, ydotool type 'Hello world!' and so on).
