That said, the rest of the functionality is now an exercise for desktop environments, and they can (and do) things differently.
And anything that people used to do on X11, they are told by zealots that they are wrong and aren't supposed to do that.
For example:
Not losing all the work every time your windows manager crashes
remapping keys
Use xinput to change parameters of their input devices (libinput dropped most configuration options present with evdev)
Global shortcuts
tunnelling over ssh

Up to the compositor.
>Global shortcuts
Also up to the compositor. Was added to xdp in https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/blob/main/data... so it's up to the compositor's xdp impl to provide it. It was created by a KDE dev so I assume KDE implements it at least.

Exactly my point! Right there. Thanks.
Before you said that your point was that people tell you you aren’t supposed to do those things. But you are able to remap your keys.
Remapping keys has been possible in Wayland for quite a while in any compositor I used. (KDE, Gnome, Sway)
