My main win from using wayland natively is that my speech to text with `ydotool` now gets affected by keyboard modifyers. If I want to quit an application I hit my left bumper (mapped to ctrl) on my controller and say `quebec`. If I want to open my terminal I hit R4 and say "tango". Toggling my STT is R4+A (return jkey).
With this I am more effective with stt+controller than my mini bt keyboard. 🥳
Eventually I want to get a screen reader involved to more effectively navigate content.
@mauve is... Is there any reason the kill command is "quebec"?
@canteen @atax1a Ha ha that's*exactly* what I do :P
Some STT folks invent their own phonetic alphabet to make it faster / more reliable but I wanted something more reusable in other contexts.
I've been considering adding a "mode swith" to disable the phonetic alphabet so I can use its words directly.

@mauve thank you I love this, I'll look at this for sure!
@mauve @atax1a I'm assuming you don't spell it out using the NATO phonetic alphabet, although that *would* be really amusing
