xbindkeys and wayland

Hi,

until recently I was using xbindkeys to create keyboard shortcuts.
Now I've installed wayland.

Unfortunately, I cannot use xbindkeys in wayland.

Is there any alternative how to create such keyboard shortcuts?
Is there a port of xbindkeys to wayland?

Kind regards

Welcome to the forums dudas

If available this will be handled by whichever wayland compositor you're using. Which is it?

Thanks for the warm welcome

Currently I'm using KDE/plasma. But I want to switch to Sway.

So, I'm interested in both solutions.

Edit - Well done Trilby, although I think my KDE link is better
