Wayland mouse movement

[rugk]

The official KDE Connect has problems with Wayland currently, so one cannot move the mouse when trying to remote control it via the phone.
I can click and use keyboard input, but moving the cursor does not work.

So what about your version? As it seems to be written for GNOME mainly, and GNOME makes use of Wayland quite often and has a good compatibility, this feature should be added here, too.

AFAIK AT-SPI does not fully support wayland either. At least synthesizing mouse events it a problem because of the way the clients interact with compositor. There is some major work on the GNOME project side though. You can check here for details https://wiki.gnome.org/Accessibility/Wayland

Thanks for the link, indeed I am generally interested in remote control for Wayland…

And I don't know what "AT-SPI" is, FWIW…

AT is Accessibility Tools like screen readers, but also interfacing with input devices like a mouse. SPI is service programmable interface, or something like that. This is the big blocker here, I think:
