Future plan for Wayland

Open ghost opened this issue 7 months ago • 7 comments

It in the title, Wayland is become more and more usable with better features and better security than what X11 currently have so im wonder if theres a plan for porting Xclicker to Wayland in the future

Yeah, I would definitely like to see some glue code to make it work with Wayland, preferably by the time the popular distros like Ubuntu say they will drop support for their Xsession

problem is just that wayland has no stable api for doing this....

Maybe we can directly input events to /dev/input/mice?

But right now, don't many games and stuff use xwayland. I believe minecraft and wine still used this and that xclicker worked on those?

In Wayland desktop environment, xclicker works properly in Minecraft, Debian 13.

Probably, not anymore, at least on GNOME. I used to use KDE Plasma (wayland) where xclicker worked fine but here it doesn't. I'm also using Debian 13.
