OK, so I'm a heavy user of the native pipe in R which goes like this "|>". This is particularly painful to type on French keyboard, so on Plasma X11, I had a little script using xdotools to input |> when I pressed Ctrl+$. Very comfortable!
With the switch to Plasma 6, I'm now using Wayland because one needs to live with one time, I guess. But this means I lost the ability to use xdotools to do that.
I tried wtype, which seemed easy, but it doesn't seem to work in Plasma (and is not maintained any more?).
I tried ydotools, which is harder to set up (it requires running a deamon as root, which is not convenient and also defeats the security purpose of Wayland I guess? Maybe not, I'm no expert). The problem with ydotools is that it doesn't seem to be aware of the keyboard layout, and since my keyboard is French AZERTY, it outputs gibberish instead of, well, |>.
So, here's my question for you guys: do you know of any other (if possible, easy as wtype is/was) way to setup a string input associated to a shortcut?
Sans vouloir en arriver là, si les piétons en France pouvait enfin comprendre qu'ils doivent traiter une piste cyclable comme une voie à traverser: regarder des deux côtés, ne pas rester dessus, ne pas marcher dans la direction de la voie, etc... Je pense que tout le monde, y compris les piétons (que je suis aussi par ailleurs), y gagneraient.
Bon, de leur côté, les vélos pourraient apprendre à ralentir à un feu piéton et ne pas passer en frôlant un piéton à moins de mètre...
On va y arriver! 👍 (J'espère! 😅)
