Screwtape

By a hilarious concatenation of circumstances, which are probably my fault for using Debian Testing, "GNOME3 on Wayland" is currently the most reliable and stable desktop environment on my machine. However, Wayland seems to be missing some of the input niceties I'm used to from X11, like being able to swap my Alt and Super keys, or tell my trackball to send scroll-events instead of cursor-events while the 4th button is held down.

Does anybody know if Wayland supports anything like that? If not, is there a plan for Wayland to support anything like that?

i think wayland does not support that many things directly, but provides mechanisms for other tools to handle stuff, so probably it can probably support that, indirectly, or will in the (near) future.

wayland uses libinput. maybe you can find some way to configure that. best of luck, and i'm mildly jealous! :-)
