It’s been a while since I looked into details of wayland, but one thing I recall is that a lot of things depend on the specific compositor / desktop environment you are using.

X is very open: you can easily query open windows etc, while on wayland things are less standardized / more hidden.

Which compositor do you use?

These are much more useful than the :() ::& ;: operator

systemctl mark-all-as-read

Everything is relative anyway. Just choose a different plane of reference and you’re good to go!

In addition to what was already mentioned, you could try adding a raft. That way the letters aren’t on the first layer.
