Which X11 software keeps you from switching to Wayland? - Beehaw

For me AutoKey [https://github.com/autokey/autokey] is absolutely essential to my workflow. I have tons of text expansions and shortcuts to “remap” keys. E.g., respectively, typing dAt expands into 2025-05-08, 13:47:40 CEST, and pressing alt + k simulates the arrow down key. Secondly there’s XScreenSaver [https://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/] which has so many wonderful (mathematical) visualizations that it would be a damn shame if these eventually get lost as Wayland gets more adoption. None of these have Wayland alternatives as far as I know. For text expansion there’s Espanso [https://espanso.org], but it doesn’t support keyboard shortcuts [https://espanso.org/docs/get-started/#:~:text=bar%20or%20a-,keyboard%20shortcut*,-%2C%20and%20the%20effect] yet.
