What is your concern exactly? To me it seems not very well maintained and still plagued by a few issues and limitations, but some features at least functional, as it seems to be the case with ydotool type. > I couldn't find a Wayland tool mapping to `xdotool` but in this case I > think it's not a big issue: when invoked by dmenu-wl, passmenu is able > to copy the password in the clipboard.

I think the idea of --type is to eliminate the need to use the clipboard as it is easily accessible by unprivileged processes and thus potentially easier to log by malicious software than the xdotool-based approach. > Also, spotted a typo: Thanks, will fix!
