Does it require XWayland to run or does it work natively on Wayland?

I tested it on Wayland. It only sees the windows running under XWayland. It does not see Wayland-native apps. So, if you two most common apps are a Wayland-native terminal...

This project may be an interesting reference since it implements Wayland client, server and protocols in Rust: https://github.com/Smithay/wayland-rs

@svenstaro Any thoughts on merging this?

Sway support is working now in #122 if anyone wants to test it. For now, the windows are drawn with X11, but as long as you are already using XWayland,...

I think I'll pass. I'm a Rust beginner and am not familiar with X11 programming either. I'd have a lot of overhead just to find where to start for what...

Instead of using X-specific code, use winit, a cross-platform Rust library which supports both X and Wayland by default. https://github.com/rust-windowing/winit

@svenstaro Although I thought I could read Rust well enough to do this rebase, I haven't started doing Rust development yet and wouldn't be able to get to this soon,...

I'm interested to learn Rust, but this my first day back from a work vacation so I expect to stay busy catching up with things for a while. I'll keep...

@svenstaro I have successfully rebased the Sway support off of the main branch, resolved all the conflicts and tested that it works with Sway. 🎉 I can say this about...
