Linux X11 vs Wayland Considerations

FaithBeam edited this page Oct 20, 2024 · 1 revision

Wayland does not have a standard way to programmatically query the active window from a different application. X11 does. It is recommended to run in a X11 session when using YMouseButtonControl.

What this means:

  • Wayland: The program matches every window: *. This means all profiles may activate your automations on mouse press.
  • X11: Process/Window matching works as intended.

Use X11 when using this software.
