    xdotool type for wayland

    That does not make sense, wayland and xorg are fundamentally different. in X11 everything is global given that its the X.Org server that manages clients while the wayland compositor does most of the X.Org server by itself. This is also while writing a pure wayland compositor from scratch is much harder as you need to rewrite half of the X.Org server but at the same time in contrast to X11 you don't have security holes like a keylogger in few lines of code. In short, xdotool relies on the X11 protocol while a similar wayland app need a support in the compositor itself.

    There is some attempts though like: https://github.com/atx/wtype

    void linux hyprland templates for building with xbps-src

    Doesn't matter, there's a third-party package for Void: https://github.com/Makrennel/hyprland-void

    Other distros either package it or it's easily built, no problem: https://wiki.hyprland.org/Getting-Started/Installation

  • Hyprland

    Hyprland is an independent, highly customizable, dynamic tiling Wayland compositor that doesn't sacrifice on its looks.

    and yet hyprland uses a CoC?

    https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/blob/main/CODE_OF_CONDUCT...

    I joined the hyprland discord after seeing many reports of hyprland having a "toxic" community to verify the claims myself, I must say I'm disappointed. I expected to see some real raunchy stuff, instead it's quite literally one of the most trans-positive and otherwise politically milquetoast servers I'm in.

    The initial rules post you have to agree to before gaining access to the server has hundreds of reactions of various trans flag emotes too.[0]

    What's the problem here? The whole drama seems like virtue-signalling politically-correct FOSS devs attacking other politically-correct FOSS devs.
