Description

Types text into Wayland applications from scripts, filling a role similar to xdotool type for automation workflows. It is useful for controlled desktop scripting, testing, and keyboard-driven helpers in Wayland sessions.

This is an input automation tool. It can type into the focused application, so scripts should avoid sending secrets or commands to the wrong window.
