wl-tools

Version 2026.144.1443
Repo superproject

Wayland/X command-line input, clipboard, and window tools Installs the wlroots input/clipboard/window toolset — wtype, wl-clipboard (wl-copy/wl-paste), wlr-randr, wlrctl, xdotool, ydotool, plus the xprop/xwininfo X utilities — used to drive and introspect a Wayland desktop. Verifiable: each tool’s binary lands on PATH under /usr/bin (cross-distro; wlrctl ships from the AUR on Arch and the repo on Fedora).

This candy’s plan: — the runnable spec charly check executes against a live deployment. check: steps are idempotent probes; run: steps change state.

Intent Step
check the wtype keyboard-injection tool is installed
check the wl-clipboard copy tool is installed
check the wlrctl wlroots control tool is installed
check file=/usr/bin/wl-paste
check file=/usr/bin/wlr-randr
check file=/usr/bin/xdotool
check file=/usr/bin/ydotool
