The day KDE implements Windows 10 touchpad gestures will be the last day for my Windows partition
I can only agree about the obsession the developers seem to have about workspace gestures. However, my solution was installing the Gestures app combined with xdotool (or ydotool if on Wayland). Now I can configure whatever combination of touchpad gestures I want.

Any way to use KDE Plasma 5.25 Gestures on X11?
Gestures is another alternative. Been using it for the past two years, works great and is very easy to configure.

Is there a way to change the trackpad gesture for the overview effect to a different one?
I have previously configured gestures using https://gitlab.com/cunidev/gestures.

Is it possible to map keystrokes to 3-finger swipe gestures (for example alt+left for backswiping) on a touchpad in Manjaro?
I've tried touche and gestures but neither of these two seems to work. For example, I mapped the following syntax in gestures: "xdotool key alt+left" (or alt_l+left) to be able to backswipe in Google Chrome but nothing happens. The same goes for touche. I would appreciate your help.

This week in KDE: Stable desktop icons and even better gestures
Can someone give the command for the above effect so I can configure it via gestures?

Cant install extended gestures, fedora 35, gnome 41, Wayland
I found the Gesture flatpack, but it just says "unsupported on Wayland session" to my costume gestures. Probably because the gesture is already taken. Is there a way to disable the wayland gesture, so it instead uses my custom gesture?

(DWM) Can I Bind a Keybinding to Another Key?
I haven't tried, but the key codes here looks like they might be of use: https://gitlab.com/cunidev/gestures/-/wikis/xdotool-list-of-key-codes

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).
