key and type commands not working with hyprland binds

[TahaCoder43]

They work normally on the terminal, also Mousemove and click command work fine with hyprland binds

Also the command does run, I do see it in btop, it just does nothing. Also it outputs nothing I am using &> to pipe it's output

What I have tried

• running ydotoold daemon with sudo -b ydotoold --socket-path="$HOME/.ydotool_socket" --socket-own="$(id -u):$(id -g)" instead of just enabling it using nixos builtin program.ydotoold.enable

• running the command through a shell script file which is ran by the bind

• Running with sudo. it caused ydotool to look for the socket in /tmp but for some reason I could not preserve the environment in sudo or set variables, so I tried making a soft link in tmp for the socket but it the ydotool command outputted permission denied

• adding myself to the uinput group, and adding uinput group to sudoers

• using kitty -c to run ydotool command

Also note that I haven't tried each of these things with both of the commands key and type, I tried running key normally without these modifications, after that I just tried these things with the type command, and it isn't working at all

I am on

• nixos 24.11.20250129.59e618d (Vicuna)
• Hyprland 0.45.2
• ydotool 1.0.4 (search.nixos.org says it should be 1.0.4 I tried checking it with ydotool --version but did not work)
