# wtype
> Simulate keyboard input on Wayland, similar to `xdotool type` for X11.
> See also: `ydotool`.
> More information: <https://github.com/atx/wtype>.
- Simulate typing text:
`wtype "{{Hello World}}"`
- Type a specific key:
`wtype -k {{Left}}`
- Press a modifier:
`wtype -M {{shift|ctrl|...}}`
- Release a modifier:
`wtype -m {{ctrl}}`
- Wait between keystrokes (in milliseconds):
`wtype -d {{500}} -- "{{text}}"`
- Read text from `stdin`:
`echo "{{text}}" | wtype -`
