wayland?

[edrex]

I'm kicking the tires of sxhkd for use with i3, but I'm planning to eventually move to sway, a wayland based reimplementation. I'm wondering if it is possible for sxhkd to support wayland - mainly whether there's a generic way to intercept input events in wayland or at a lower level, rather than using X APIs.

It seems like working within the compositor is the only way to do this. https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots aims to be a toolkit of composable modules for constructing wayland compositors. Maybe sxhkd could be ported to run as a wlroots module. Closing this :)

Has this been done yet? I'd like to use ulauncher and the kde keybind system is so slow while this is blazingly fast. I hope it will work soon.

@dreamcat4 @UltraBlackLinux I have rewritten with my team most of sxhkd to be display server independent the link is above if you're still looking for wayland implementations.

edit: typos.
