At this time, wlrctl supports the foreign-toplevel-mangement (window/toplevel command),
virtual-keyboard (keyboard command), and virtual-pointer (pointer command) protocols.
Requires wlroots 0.13+
## Installation
There is an AUR package for wlrctl [here][aur-wlrctl].
And an openSUSE package [here][os-wlrctl].
Otherwise, build with meson/ninja e.g.

Some example uses are:
$ wlrctl keyboard type 'Hello, world!'

$ wlrctl pointer move 50 -70
... to move the cursor 50 pixels right and 70 pixels up.
