I use a mouse, a 3D-mouse and a keyboard with a lot of extra keys which are mapped via xbindkeys under Ubuntu Gnome 17.04. Now the support of 17.04 is run out and I was forced to switch over to Ubuntu which now uses the Gnome Shell again and additional based on Wayland. This sounds good but the important feature provided by xbindkeys seemed not to be supported anymore as described in this blog.
What is now the proposed alternative way to map extra keys under XWayland?

You should be able to select xorg session at the login screen. Wayland is not exactly ready for prime time, so much so, that 18.04 will default to xorg.

You say, it can be assumed, that XWayland will support this feature in the feature too?

No, I didn't say that.

I currently test 18.04 and it runs very good. And faster than earlier. Here per default XWayland runs.

So, if all is dandy, why ask here?
