Depends on what compositor you use.

Do you want some daemon to start when a wayland session is started? Then maybe look at your display manager settings?

I'm not sure what compositor I use in wayfire. :oops:

It so happened earlier today, I wanted to launch command 'footclient' from a wayfire desktop with no terminal open.

I couldn't find a prompt to launch a command in the upper left menu.

For an app launcher, I use fuzzel (by the foot dev)

For a quick cmd line/simple app launcher, I still have gmrun installed from xorg days, it's gtk2 but works fine for what it is.
There's a gtk3 version, but I haven't downloaded it to try, if it works I'll put together an ebuild.

Zucca,

No edit, iirc.
May be the compositor:

it's in the wayland-desktop overlay

Edit to add: or check in my local repo, portage/gui-apps/fuzzel, just added it.

Eta2: it does require fcft, from wayland-desktop, guru or my local repo, (media-libs) and also by the guy who wrote foot/fuzzel.
