Its upstream README describes it tersely as "xdotool type for wayland", and the Arch manual clarifies that it works through the Wayland virtual-keyboard protocol. ### Historique du projet The project was started by Josef Gajdusek, with a manual page written by Michael Vetter. The public project is intentionally compact: the GitHub repository shows a C/Meson codebase, a small number of releases, and version 0.4 as the latest GitHub release dated January 27, 2022. ### Historique d'adoption wtype became useful during the desktop transition from X11 automation tools to Wayland compositors. Debian describes it as the Wayland counterpart to xdotool and packages it in the utilities section, while the Arch manual ships the upstream man page for version 0.4. That places wtype in the practical layer of Wayland migration: not a compositor itself, but a tiny tool scripts can call when a compositor supports the relevant protocol. ### Modes d'utilisation Typical usage is direct text injection, typing from standard input, adding delays between keystrokes, and pressing or releasing modifiers or named keys. The upstream examples cover typing arbitrary text, holding Ctrl while sending `c`, reading from stdin, and inserting sleeps for more complicated key sequences. ### Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent Package maintainers care about wtype because it is one of the minimal Wayland-native answers to a familiar X11 automation problem. It is small, MIT-licensed, and sits near related desktop plumbing such as libxkbcommon, virtual keyboard protocols, and compositor policy decisions about whether simulated input should be allowed. ### Chronologie - 2020-11-23: The Arch-rendered man page records wtype 0.4 and credits the project starter and man-page author. - 2022-01-27: GitHub lists v0.4 as the latest upstream release. - 2026: Debian unstable packages wtype 0.4 and describes it as the Wayland pendant for xdotool. ### Related projects - wtype is directly comparable to xdotool on X11, but uses Wayland's virtual-keyboard protocol rather than X11's input mechanisms. Debian also lists xdotool and libxdo-related packages as similar packages, showing the lineage of the use case. ### Sources - - - ## Notes de sécurité Aucun manifest local de gestion des secrets correspondant n'a été trouvé pour wtype.
