How do you implement an app that displays all the keys you type on screen then no matter which Wayland compositor? (For when you're making video tutorials of an app)
What you are suggesting is overstepping 2 security boundries for unpriviledged apps/processes:
1. Reading global key presses
2. Drawing in an always-on-top window with transparent content
Both these things would require that process to get special user/compositor opt-in permissions and integration. Your best bet would be using compositor plugins/native integration, or maybe you could hook into some toolkits (this is usually what FPS overlays do, hook into the graphics APIs).
That is at least my current knowledge and there might be already some wayland extensions/XDG-portal that allows it, but not to my knowledge.
