Is wayland still missing virtually all libinput functionality? - users - Fedora Mailing-Lists

Tuesday, 21 December 2021

I had hoped after wayland had been around this long I might
be able to make my trackball useful by doing whatever is the
wayland equivalent of this (from my mouse setting script):

      xinput --set-button-map "$nm" 1 8 3 4 5 6 7 2
      xinput --set-prop --type=int --format=8 "$nm" \
         'libinput Drag Lock Buttons' 2 1

But if there is an equivalent in wayland my best efforts to
find it were fruitless.

I absolutely cannot use wayland if I can't define drag lock.
A giant trackball like my Kensington expert mouse is utterly
useless without drag lock.

Am I just not searching for the right stuff or is wayland
really this useless?
