wtype VS tessen

You need to have wtype installed

Take a look at ydotool and wtype. AFAIK they're the best options at the moment.

ydotool & wtype are able to click/type and automate input on wayland

Maybe try wtype ?

wtype

wtype - xdotool type for wayland

tessen can use either bemenu, the wayland fork of rofi, or wofi to show password store data. It relies on wtype for autotyping instead of using ydotool because ydotool needs root privileges.

I've made a script called tessen which is, more or less, a replacement of rofi-pass but for Wayland. It can use bemenu or the wayland fork of rofi. It relies on wtype for autotyping instead of using ydotool because ydotool needs a daemon running with root privileges.

Looks like a known issue.

I'm considering adding support for keepassxc in tessen but autotype works only on wlroots based compositors like sway right now.

This may not be as impressive but I wrote a script to eliminate one of the primary roadblocks I faced when I moved to Wayland on my Linux desktop — a script to copy and autotype password store amd gopass data, kinda like rofi-pass

tessen is a bash script to autotype and copy password store data on wayland compositors. The latest release of tessen adds support for gopass as well, although parsing YAML files isn't supported. If gopass files use the same format mentioned here, tessen should work fine.

I'd be willing to package it for Void Linux but I don't really have any experience with how Void Linux packages work. tessen is just a shell script so you can download it and place it in your $PATH and use it if you want.

As I've mentioned in the isse tracker here, the only thing that's missing from fuzzel is support for using a configuration file. If it gets that, it would replace every other launcher and dmenu program on Wayland for me and would also allow me to go ahead and brand fuzzel as the default dmenu backend for tessen.

I made this post a few weeks ago about tessen's initial release. Since then, I've added a few features that might've prevented rofi-pass users from switching to Wayland based compositors (I was one of them).

I ran into this problem as well when making tessen. fzf doesn't have a GUI like rofi, bemenu, and wofi do, so you can't use fzf to type in data in anything else besides the terminal in which it was opened, at least not without resorting to ugly hacks (which is what the swaymsg window move method is).

Support for wofi has been added as well
