Various nerve stuff in my arms, limiting my use of keyboards. With an ergonomic keyboard I can get through most days, but I’m having more flare ups lately so I’m doing more voice coding.

I use Talon. It simply doesn’t support Wayland, and I believe its maintainer who says that there are issues with Wayland which make support infeasible. Using it on X makes my nerve pain much less.

* Where did they say that?

* What are the issues?

I am trying to narrow down exactly what the issues are. Too much of the conversation is 'something' is broken in Wayland because of 'something'.

talks about it at length.

It seems the main things missing for Talon are:

- input emulation, doable via uinput but not great - standard way to query the list of windows and active focus - for dwell-click support, you need to be able to know if the user is moving their mouse or clicking so you can cancel your autoclick
