feature request: wayland support

[saltedcoffii]

Oneko currently only supports x11, as wayland didn't exist when it was first coded, however as many Linux systems move to prefer wayland, oneko lags behind.

Check out wayneko.

This port only shows up on the desktop and does not follow the mouse. A real port is likely never going to happen as Wayland purposefully does not have APIs for getting the mouse position; KDE has its own APIs that I tried to use once but it's not usable via any compiled language (you have to use kwin scripting or whatever).

Could this perhaps be achieved using libei?

Do the major Wayland compositors (KDE, Gnome, Sway, etc). support that?

It appears so. There's a piece of commercial software called synergy that uses libei and libportal for wayland support to share a mouse and keyboard across several devices. Afaik it needs to grab the cursor coordinates to make it work which means it could work for this too.

I can confirm it's supported on GNOME at least, I can check if KDE supports this tonight.
