Dear Alex,

Dasher has a "direct mode" that you can activate from le File menu. In 
this mode, you can click in a text input widget in any application and 
come back to dasher window to type text that will directly appear in 
this widget. I have typed part of this e-mail this way in thunderbird 
using dasher.

I don't use dasher on a daily basis myself, so I can't judge whether 
it's reliable or practical for daily use. For sure it does not play nice 
with mouse or sloppy focus.

Also, due to how it is implemented, direct mode works only under X11, 
not in Wayland:

So by default direct mode works in Debian Stretch (current stable), but 
not in Buster (current unstable).

Kind regards, Thibaut.
