  • wtype

    xdotool type for wayland

    • Perhaps wtype is what you are looking for?

  • ydotool

    • Xdotool won't work on sway. There are other projects with similar goals, I remember using ydotool on sway. I also have a side project for manipulating the mouse named mouce, might be helpful.
