I tried to package ydotool but it needed many patches and I didn't see it getting accepted.

So bad because Dotool isnt compatible with Xdotool so I can't use XMouse on my phone, an app that uses your phone as a touchpad and connects to your PC via SSH

Comment:
Neither is ydotool, dotool and ydotool are both uinput tools. XMouse could support dotool the same way as it supports the other two and it wouldn't require root or a daemon like ydotool, so you could open a pull request or issue there. You could link to https://github.com/ideasman42/nerd-dictation/issues/68 and https://github.com/dictation-toolbox/dragonfly/issues/374#issuecomment-1441920872.
