[Wayland] Works only with Electron (or web) apps #23

Hello! I tried Rustyvibes on Arch Linux with Wayland (SwayWM) and for first time when I ran in terminal (of course after compiling from source code) I thought sound doesn't work, but when I switched to Discord window I heard sounds. I just didn't hear anything in terminal, I heard sounds only in Discord window.

i think this is a problem with the upstream rdev crate, not sure if there's a good solution (other than writing wayland support from scratch)

rdev have an unstable_grab feature which uses evdev library to get events. It would work on wayland but user needs to be in the input group.

(other than writing wayland support from scratch)

Check out wayvibes, this also uses evdev to get global keypresses
