hmm yet another thing people complain about wayland not being able to do which (according to this toot) it can do, both gnome and kde let "screen readers monitor and intercept keystrokes on wayland"

Apparently this is slightly old news (the Git commit timestamp is just over three months ago), but KWin, the KDE window manager/compositor, now implements the solution pioneered by GNOME for letting screen readers monitor and intercept keystrokes on Wayland, specifically, the org.freedesktop.a11y.KeyboardMonitor D-Bus interface. I prototyped this solution in GNOME last summer. Thanks to @tyrylu@gts.trycht.cz for bringing it to production in GNOME, and now to Nicolas Fella for implementing it in KDE.
