**`ydotool` is not limited to Wayland.** You can use it on anything as long as it accepts keyboard/mouse/whatever input. For example, X11, text console, "RetroArch OS", fbdev apps (fbterm/mplayer/SDL1/LittleVGL/Qt Embedded), etc.

Independent software developers in China, like us, have 10 times more life pressure than Marak, the author of faker.js. Since ydotool has the opportunity to benefit large IT companies who won't pay a penny to us, we've changed the license to AGPLv3. These large IT companies are the main cause of life pressure here, such as the "996" working hours.

**Marak's fate will repeat on all open source developers eventually (of course we aren't talking about those who were born in billionare families) if we just _keep fighting with each other and do nothing to improve the situation._ If you make open source software as well, don't hesitate to ask for donations if you actually _need_ them.**

[As mentioned here](https://github.com/ReimuNotMoe/ydotool/issues/43#issuecomment-605921288), consider using a hardware-based configuration that supports using a custom layout without configuring it in software.
