I know little about wayland, only that it is touted as the replacement for X because it runs with lower privilege. However, X has 20 to 30 years of corner case handling built in, and that long for people to develop utilities for it. So, it is much easier to do customization and forensics. The wayland devs are properly focusing their efforts where they get the most bang for the buck, which isn't all those corner cases or custom utilities. If wayland persists, those will come in time, but, as far as I can see, they are not there now. So, my recommendation is for you to get your issue solved in X, and once it is solved there, see if wayland will pick up the solution from X, or run wayland on X. I don't run wayland because it doesn't yet have in place handling for custom keyboard layouts, one of those corner cases. When I tried to get around that by having my keyboard layout become part of the official keyboard layouts, I found that the process for doing that in X is defunct. So, between and betwixt, I still run X, and hope that by the time X is deprecated many years hence, the capability will be in wayland.
