 #### Text Injection

+Configurable text injection with multiple backends:
 
 ```toml
 [injection]
-mode = "fallback"  # "clipboard", "type", or "fallback"
-restore_clipboard = true
+backends = ["ydotool", "wtype", "clipboard"]  # Ordered fallback chain
+ydotool_timeout = "5s"
 wtype_timeout = "5s"
 clipboard_timeout = "3s"
 ```
 
-**Injection Modes:**
+**Injection Backends:**
 
-- **`fallback`** (default): Try direct typing first, fallback to clipboard
-- **`type`**: Direct typing using wtype only
-- **`clipboard`**: Copy to clipboard only
+- **`ydotool`**: Uses ydotool (requires `ydotoold` daemon). Most compatible with Chromium/Electron apps.
+- **`wtype`**: Uses wtype for Wayland. May have issues with some Chromium-based apps (known upstream bug).
+- **`clipboard`**: Copies text to clipboard only. Most reliable, but requires manual paste.
+
+**Fallback Chain:**
+
+Backends are tried in order. The first successful one wins. Example configurations:
+
+```toml
+# Clipboard only (safest, always works)
+backends = ["clipboard"]
+
+# wtype with clipboard fallback
+backends = ["wtype", "clipboard"]
+
+# Full fallback chain (default) - best compatibility
+backends = ["ydotool", "wtype", "clipboard"]
+
+# ydotool only (if you have it set up)
+backends = ["ydotool"]
+```
+
+**ydotool Setup:**
+
+ydotool requires the `ydotoold` daemon running and access to `/dev/uinput`:
+
+```bash
+# Start ydotool daemon (systemd)
+systemctl --user enable --now ydotool
+
+# Or add user to input group
+sudo usermod -aG input $USER
+# Then logout/login
+
+# For Hyprland, add to config to set correct keyboard layout:
+# device:ydotoold-virtual-device {
+#     kb_layout = us
+# }
+```
 
 **Behavior:**
 
-- `restore_clipboard = true`: Save and restore original clipboard content
-- Smart fallback ensures text injection always succeeds when possible
+- Backends are tried in order until one succeeds
+- Include `clipboard` in the chain if you want text copied to clipboard as fallback
