Use Wayland-native features if on Wayland

[ThatOneCalculator]

Currently, this is useless for people not on X11 or GNOME. Wayland compositors support wtype for automatically typing selected characters, or wl-copy for copying characters.

The "wayland way" you are probably talking about is this protocol:
https://wayland.app/protocols/virtual-keyboard-unstable-v1

Which, by the way, is not supported by most of wayland compositors.

Both wtype and wl-copy are two indipendent projects which are not part of the protocol

This should NOT be closed as completed given the broken behavior is still present. Even if they're not part of the protocol, they support all major compositors, which GNOME extensions don't.

I will add this feature when there will be a wider adoption of these protocols

So you're fine with keeping your app unusable for everyone on Wayland that isn't on GNOME?

This is probably what we need, I'm reopening this for future development
