Wayland support
freijon opened this issue · comments
Passhole was exactly what I was looking for. Unfortunately on wayland the "type" feature doesn't work. I can imagine that to be quite difficult... As a workaround a "copy password to clipboard" feature would be nice with the ability to use whatever clipboard tool defined. It could work similar to "type PROG", but with "copy PROG".
Need to find a cross-platform clipboard library first. Pyperclip looks good, but doesn't support Wayland yet.
And for typing, pynput may eventually support Wayland
Just found out there is an app called wlrctl which can be used to type using a virtual keyboard. Maybe this could be used?
There's also ydotool, but that requires root.
@freijon How does typing tabbed characters work in wlrctl?
I may just change the --xodotool argument into a --cmd CMD argument that takes the stuff to type on its stdin.
So it seems like pynput should support Wayland now, but I haven't tested it.
Everything seems to be working in Sway/Wayland.
I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but it doesn't work for me on Wayland (sway). I have tried various "choosers" like rofi, wofi and yofi, and all of them get the correct result back to ph, but there's no output:
