What's so bad about installing a 3rd party tool?

you could easily answer such questions when you will write those tools. or when you will learn to read something besides your fantasies and understand that libinput-record is a 3rd party tool

Why would I need to do that when they already exist? I personally have no problems installing 3rd party applications - it's usually a painless process, so I don't see your point.

Based on the phrasing of the article, libinput-record is included with libinput as an executable; libinput is not a 3rd party tool in most modern systems. It is pretty much always used nowadays, including in Xorg setups. So unless you prove me wrong otherwise, how about you learn to read?

I've used xdotool to automate some key presses and mouse movements for odd tasks, it would be great if I could just simply record a set of real mouse/key inputs, and then replay them.
