xdotool and kin didn’t work on Wayland for me.

same, these are surfaced in python, but it's barely usable

device = uinput.Device([
uinput.BTN_LEFT,
uinput.BTN_RIGHT,
uinput.REL_X,
uinput.REL_Y,
])

device.emit(uinput.REL_X, 0)
device.emit(uinput.REL_Y, 0)
device.emit(uinput.BTN_LEFT, 1)
device.emit(uinput.REL_X, -100)
device.emit(uinput.REL_Y, -100)

Yeah I wrote something using a lower level interface. Like at the usb layer or some shit, I forget. I gave that up and went back to X.

There is wdotool, it's not complete re-implementation yet, but it works.
