> The only issue for me is the autotype support on Wayland

Are you using a wlroots compositor like sway or GNOME/KDE?

I am using both KDE and GNOME. When Firefox is under xwayland, it works. When switched to wayland, it stops working.

Looks like a known issue.

I'm considering adding support for keepassxc in tessen but autotype works only on wlroots based compositors like sway right now.

Not sure what you mean but the default KeepassXC on Fedora 35 with Wayland does not do autofill in Firefox.

I'm going to take a guess and say that you're using GNOME if you're using Fedora and yeah, I don't think auto type works on GNOME's wayland version yet. They're working on their own protocol called libie the last time I checked.

However, auto typing on Wayland works pretty well if you use wlroots compositors/window managers like sway.

Using default GNOME, yes.

I'm on Debian Bullseye stable with Wayland GNOME out of the box, and autotype works fine.

Any chance the app you used is under xwayland? I am asking because Firefox under xwayland has auto-type working.
