Description
Implements the wlr virtual pointer protocol:
https://wayland.app/protocols/wlr-virtual-pointer-unstable-v1
I was able to test it by running anvil:
in one shell while in another running:
And I can see the events logged by anvil:
Anvil doesn't appear to draw a mouse pointer when used in this way, but the events do get logged as if they work. I also have a branch where I wired this into cosmic-comp and was able to use it successfully with
wayland-clickdotandwlrctlto move the mouse around and show clicks. If there's some better way to have tested this within the scope of this repo I'm happy to add it.AI Disclosure:
I used Claude Sonnet 4.6 to write this, but I read it and tested it myself. It is similar to the existing virtual_keyboard protocol implementation.
