  • I'm using Debian 12 with Wayland and I've used Wayland for quite some time so it did work with Wayland. Is there something else that makes these xbindkeys things work in wayland? I wonder why it kept working after switching to Wayland. I will try input-remapper. Commented Oct 31, 2024 at 13:28
  • I'm clueless as to why xbindkeys kept working long after upgrading to Debian 12 and Wayland. Maybe it was a recent upgrade (it only shows v 12) cat /proc/version shows Linux version 5.10.0-17-amd64 ([email protected]) (gcc-10 (Debian 10.2.1-6). So I did run sudo apt-get remove xbindkeys xbindkeys-config and sudo apt-get install input-remapper-gtk then configured the mousewheel & check "Autoload". It works so this is solved. I can only configure keyboard presses but not commands like I could with xbindkeys but I simply changed the setting of what the key press does. Commented Oct 31, 2024 at 13:44
  • It's at version 12.7 as could be seen via cat /etc/debian_version. Asked about why gcc-10 was used separately here. Commented Nov 1, 2024 at 17:08
