@klardotsh I do eventually want to do a Wayland-native version but nobody's done the groundwork yet on figuring out how plugin windows should nest (at a low level), so that might have to wait until more than zero hosts support it.

@klardotsh the repetitive warping dance is really just a hack for getting raw relative motion of the pointer, which is perhaps better solved at a lower level. I know there's a Wayland extension for relative pointer motion (https://github.com/wayland-project/wayland-protocols/blob/master/unstable/relative-pointer/relative-pointer-unstable-v1.xml) but I don't know what kind of support it has at this point.

I'll bump this issue up in priority. you're the first person I know who's using Cadmium in Xwayland :)

@klardotsh so I took a look here – it looks like, in Xwayland, I disable the cursor warping (because the support for it wasn't good and I haven't checked to see what's up these days), but the cursor hiding still happens, so you get the worst of both worlds.

@klardotsh hey thanks for the purchase dude. means a ton 🙏

keep me up to date on what you make with it :)
