Not only off topic, but some things are completely wrong. "Wayland breaks games" being a prime example despite the most popular Linux gaming platform, Steam Deck, being Wayland based (gamescope)
There is Expanso for xorg https://espanso.org/
It works on Wayland as well AFAIK. I looked up espanso for expanding emojis and it seems they too use `wl-clipboard`
But someone using Wayland and Expanso can probably comment their experience
I would use them conditionally
How does it compare to kanata and kmonad? Found especially kanata a delight to use, while being both minimal, if needed, and maximally feature-filled if desired.
Keydogger does one thing and it does it well. If you think it's misbehaving in any way, it's so small you can read and confirm that behaviour.
The readme hardly explains what it does. Is it a keyboard macro service? E.g. for a given keyboard shortcut I get a predefined sequence of keys pressed?
Apart from that I will certainly try it because I have a use for a lightweight one job - one tool kind of typing helper. I guess others will too.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I do realise it now that it's missing it's usage. It's a simple keyboard macro which supports all printable characters for triggers and everything for expansions. It sends native key presses if all the expansion are printable characters. If not, it uses clipboard and sends `Ctrl+V`
Thanks! I think maybe not everyone understands exactly what a "keyboard macro" is, that you type something and it fills out predefined text. At least judging by some comments here :)

I hate to be that guy, but the name is neither helpful to explain what it does nor will it facilitate adoption. Show me the IT department that won't freak out when it sees a process called "keylogger" . Apart from that I will certainly try it because I have a use for a lightweight one job - one tool kind of typing helper. I guess others will too.

It is not meant to compete with feature rich programs. Keydogger does one thing and it does it well. If you think it's misbehaving in any way, it's so small you can read and confirm that behaviour.
Cheers!
There is AutoKey for Linux and X11.

I'm not sure what the origin of "keydogger" is but at least there aren't 10 apps with the name and it's pronounceable.
