keynav VS wayland-keylogger

I have been using keynav (https://github.com/jordansissel/keynav) for convenience for a while now, but still pick the mouse up for selecting text outside of the terminal since dragging is bugged.

I've been looking for a solution to the buttons that don't get hints. All this time; I've been looking for it in Qutebrowser when really there's a solution that would work anywhere in X11. - https://github.com/jordansissel/keynav . There are programs like it for Windows and Mac as well, and I know keynav would work for switching panes.

I wouldn't game with it, but keynav (https://www.semicomplete.com/projects/keynav/ / https://github.com/jordansissel/keynav) is pretty great.

Please take a look at a program called `keynav`. I use it for clicking things with my keyboard instead of the mouse, and it works almost flawlessly, except in VirtualBox.

It's source-included, so you can figure out the method they use.

There's also https://github.com/jordansissel/keynav/ – I was surprised to only have come across it very recently, as it does exactly what I'd been looking for for a long time. Any non-git version is likely to be outdated, and per the issues section you might run into compatibility issues with picom unless you comment out a line in the source code.

this works well for occasionally clicking on things: https://github.com/jordansissel/keynav

Reading the docs it looks like you can specify a grid size to do a 3x3 without modifying the code using the grid command. https://github.com/jordansissel/keynav/blob/master/keynav.pod#grid-commands

Intercepting inputs meant for other apps is easy and it's already been done via LD_PRELOAD.

And all of this just for supposedly better "security", that can easily circumvented with trivial attacks.

Not in the same sense that there's a keylogger included with Windows, no. It's that it's easier to do on Xorg as opposed to Wayland. This isn't to say that it's impossible, however.

You can have keylogger on Wayland also without root priviledge. It's trivial: https://github.com/Aishou/wayland-keylogger

> you can still deliver different experiences at runtime — but you’re not likely to have the superuser privileges needed to run a leylogger or read ~/.ssh/id_rsa, etc, at that point.

Keyloggers are trivial to do in userspace Linux via LD_PRELOAD attacks[0], and typically your user account has permission to read ~/.ssh/id_rsa.

I have read that bare Linux is totally insecure (https://github.com/Aishou/wayland-keylogger) unless you use some means of sandboxing. That's why I have been reading a lot about firejail, AppArmor, Tomoyo, etc.
