Will AutoKey continue to work on Wayland?

[JC]

I'm thinking of trying to relearn AutoKey, since AutoHotkey is just so impossible replicate by any other program, but I'm also on Linux Mint, which I recently learned may be leaving X11 for Wayland. Will AutoKey continue to work on Wayland or would it be a waste of time to learn it for the brief time that X11 will stay?

I have not seen any distribution install only Wayland. I believe X11 will continue to be an option at log-in

It's up to you, but: Our development branch currently works under both Wayland and x11. We are still working on it, so there's no release date for 0.97.0 yet.

Anyone can take a look on GitHub and if you're adventurous, you can help us test it.

The setup is a bit more than just installing a package, but it's documented and we can help if you get stuck. It can be setup without affecting your current AutoKey setup. But keep in mind that it's a test version and not ready for production use.

When it's ready, we will create a beta release that everyone can try.

We still need more Python developers to help us get it ready faster.
