Does anyone else feel that Wayland is taking away the hackability of Xorg?
taiwins because the devs tried wlroots but it proved to be too inflexible for their lua hooks.

Any plans on porting to wayland?
i'm reading this issue and this thread as i'm looking into migrate to wayland, since sooner or later we'll apparently have (i know this won't be very soon, but wayland is more and more mainstream). I know "any update on this?" is very annoying, and that's why i'm not open an issue, but... Any update on this?

selecting menu options without releasing right click
I guess, it's not supported at the moment or you'll have to do some hacks.. There is this issue (#3777) with the same problem.

A linux newbie has installed and configured Arch. Minimalist graphical capabilities?
I use the Awesome Window Manager. At it's core, it's a little difficult to figure out. But once you get the hang of assigning hot keys and whatnot, You'll be able to use it more fluently. I use it on all 3 of my machines (two desktops and one laptop). I Love it! I copy my configs from the machine I started it with and put them on the other 2 machines. Works great!
