Describe the issue I use libinput-gestures in Gnome with Wayland to switch tab and history on Google Chrome (XWayland) by means of xdotool. Since the update to xdotool 3.20210804.2, libinput-gestures stopped to have effect the xdotool doesn't work any more under Wayland:

The X server at :0 appears to be XWayland. Unfortunately, XWayland does not correctly support the features used by libxdo and xdotool.
Failed creating new xdo instance.

If there is no workaround the README should be updated. Any alternative way to make actions like above in Chrome?

FYI, xdotool stopped working on Arch a month ago. I raised an issue about it here. You can either install the previous version, or get the current sources and delete the offending line.

Do yay -S xdotool-xwayland to work around this.

Note xdotool release v3.20210903.1 on 2021-Sep-04 fixed this issue 3 weeks ago. xdotool 3.20210903.1-1 on Arch was released the same day and the package xdotool-xwayland was deleted from the AUR.
