Update

[palb91]

Hello, I see that the last commit is two years old. Your tool works! It already helped me a lot, would you consider updating it? I'm not a developper myself so I won't be helpful in this way, but I can participate from a user point of view. I have seen several times people asking for a keynav replacement for Wayland and here is your tool, so there would be a public.

Nice to hear that it's been helpful! I am interested in updating the code and using this myself. Are there any specific features/fixes you'd like to see in waypoint? I'd like to fix the crashes on the pointer going off-screen, and add better configuration and multi-monitor support.

Nice!

I term of issues, there is effectively the pointer going off-screen (which can be easily avoided), but the issue that is more annoying is in multi-monitor setup, the grid only works in only one monitor.

I term of features, what I miss from keynav is:

• a configuration file (I use a bépo keyboard — sort of dvorak for French — and I was able to modify the code for using my own keys, but a configuration file would help to extend a bit waypoint (bindings, default grid, maybe macros, why not colors);
• undoing last cuts/moves, so it needs an history;
• press/release click for drag'n'drop (I was able to implement it, but it is a bit buggy);
• right click and maybe other mouse controls (middle click, scrolling);
• a man/help once more things are implemented.

What do you think about this first list?

First off, thanks for beating me to creating this! I've tried this clone and warpd and yours is the simplest. (warpd also supports X11 and has other unneeded functionality, but that's beside the point.)

My list of improvements would start with:

1) The pointer going off-screen. 2) Configuration file, preferably in a format that won't pull in more dependencies. 3) History. 4) "Hinting" support. 5) Other mouse controls. 6) More documentation.

Thanks for the feedback! I've implemented a few things.

There's a configuration file now, but keybind support is currently limited to single keys and not combinations.

Drag-and-drop is really buggy if implemented naively so I haven't added that yet. Need to find the proper way to do it.

I hope can locate pointer than cut from whole,always drag pointer with it, multi monitor support is of high priority.
