Yup.

On a lighter side, apparently ydotool has a smarter design; instead of sending events to the X server like xdotool does, it emulates an input device. This means you can start using it before migrating to Wayland, and in case the Linux community eventually deprecates Wayland for something else, it should still work.

Now I just need a Wayland equivalent to grabc. A lot of my autoclicker scripts relies on it for dynamic behaviour, like "keep clicking $pixel1 until $pixel2 changes colour".
