Text to active window does not work [flatpak, wayland]

[nnbyte]

Hello,

First of all, awesome app, great job! I am still discovering/learning about it.

Everything I tested until now works, except for the "Text to active window" option. FYI, I am using your flatpak app on wayland (on openSUSE Tumbleweed with KDE Plasma).

I installed the ydotool and setup the ydotoold deamon to run in the background. I set a socket under my own user so I can access it without sudo. It works for me, I can execute stuff directly. I also set an environment variable via .profile.

user@pc:~$ sudo -b ydotoold --socket-path="$HOME/.ydotool_socket" --socket-own="$(id -u):$(id -g)"
[sudo] password for root: 
user@pc:~$ Socket path: /home/user/.ydotool_socket
Socket permission: 0600
Socket ownership: UID=1000, GID=1000
READY

user@pc:~$ echo $YDOTOOL_SOCKET
/home/user/.ydotool_socket

user@pc:~$ ps auxf | grep ydotoold
user    39153  0.0  0.0   3608  1984 pts/1    S+   21:01   0:00  |   |   \_ grep --color=auto ydotoold
root       39115  0.0  0.0  17620  4252 pts/1    S    21:01   0:00  \_ sudo -b ydotoold --socket-path=/home/user/.ydotool_socket --socket-own=1000:1000
root       39116  0.0  0.0  17620  3328 pts/2    Ss+  21:01   0:00      \_ sudo -b ydotoold --socket-path=/home/user/.ydotool_socket --socket-own=1000:1000
root       39117  0.0  0.0   2684  1712 pts/2    S    21:01   0:00          \_ ydotoold --socket-path=/home/user/.ydotool_socket --socket-own=1000:1000

I allowed your flatpak to access the socket like this (i hope it is correct/enough?):

What am I missing?

Everything is fine with your configuration :)

The problem is that the integration with ydotool and "Insert text into active window" feature on Wayland is not yet included in the official version (and not in the beta version). It will be in the next release (v4.8.0).

Looking forward to it! I might need a little crash course on ydotoold though... 😬
