DESCRIPTION

15       wtype is a Wayland tool that allows you to simulate keyboard input like
16       xdotool type for X11.  This is accomplished  via  the  virtual-keyboard
17       Wayland protocol.

OPTIONS

21       Modifier  can  be  one  of  "shift", "capslock", "ctrl", "logo", "win",
22       "alt", "altgr".  Beware that the modifiers get  released  automatically
23       once the program terminates.
24
25       Named  keys  are  resolved  by  libxkbcommon, valid identifiers include
26       "Left" and "Home".

44       -s TIME
45              Sleep for TIME milliseconds before  interpreting  the  following
46              options.  This  can be used to perform more complicated modifier
47              sequences.

LIMITATIONS

51       To support arbitrary unicode characters, wtype generates  a  keymap  on
52       the  fly  and  submits  it to the compositor for distribution. Unfortu‐
53       nately this is broken under Xwayland as X has an  upper  limit  on  the
54       amount of defined keycode-keysym pairs.
