For me 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 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, but it doesn’t support keyboard shortcuts yet.
What about Deskflow? Worked pretty well for me.
I’ll check it out, thanks!
Nice! DeskFlow seems like exactly what I was looking for as my Barrier replacement. I have an annoyance with Wayland where it won’t remember my preference to allow mouse/kb sharing, but more importantly IT WORKS, and better yet it’s an active project still. THANK YOU!
