Wayland

Any plans for supporting wayland?

Did you try running this as root? You might use setuid sudo chmod u+s script.py to use with aw-qt.

Generally speaking, Wayland is more secure than X11 and it doesn't allow to watch for global events. So one has to wire up to the kernel output. The utilised library supports and states this directly: https://pynput.readthedocs.io/en/latest/limitations.html#linux

I would be interested in wayland support as well
By the way @2e3s : Great work on the awatcher! I am using it on hyprland and it is working great!
Thank you very much 😁

Tried running as root and still no data gets recorded for keyboard events for Wayland.

Is there any possibility to switch from pyuinput to evdev in order to support Wayland?: https://github.com/gvalkov/python-evdev
