Hi,

using Cachyos kde I’ve been making a python script that will move the mouse to a position -> click -> move mouse back to the original position. I can get this working with x11, but it fails with wayland.

Do you know any way to programatically move the mouse and click that works with wayland?

Thanks

    uinput is not the proper way, it’s emulating a hardware device.

    The remote desktop portal is the proper way. Even xdotool works through that.

      Interesting, I didn’t know you could do that through the portal directly.

      I was only familiar with uinput because I have used it before to use a wiimote as a mouse, and for that you’d actually want to emulate a mouse.
