Need keystroke to send doubleClick plus control+C

[kerl]

How could I send a double click plus a "Control+C" by pressing "Control+leftShift" ?

The idea is that ctrl+shift can be performed quickly with your left hand whilst ctrl+c requires your two hands.

FYI I want this keystroke while using GoldenDict where the popoup based on ocr detection does not work any more on midern web browsers.
I think this ctrl+shift keystroke would do as a workaround.

Thanks in advance

here are plenty of tools to remap your keyboard. The only problem is that they tend to be at OS/driver level not at the hardware level.

I've just coded this for Mswindows if you want to give it a try:

it's practical for Goldendict under winXP (just mouse over a word and press control+shift)
unfortunately it does not work under wine

Since you can code, perhaps you want to look at doing it at uinput level. Here's an example: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/266 ... e#27166484.

There is another mapping daemon called evmapd, but last time I tried it didn't work properly; and I sort of lost patience. There is another one which is newer but I can't recall the name at the moment.

Probably not the answer you want to hear, but anyway.

Hi Jamesbond.

I can only code a bit on Basic dialect languages which deal with Windows

Do you know some automation tool for Linux? I've just run into Actiona

an open source tool with binaries for Ubuntu and Debian.

Xdotool.

thanks! though my intention would be launching a Xdotool script and leave it in background, so that everytime my keystroke is intercepted, the same commands,clicks,etc would be performed..

this might work

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh 
xdotool click 1 click 1 key ctrl+c key ctrl+c

but how can I assign a keyboard shortcut to launch the bash script ?

[kerl]

this will do

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh 
xdotool click 1 click 1 key ctrl+c key ctrl+c

but how can I assign a keyboard shortcut to launch the .sh ?

How to Open any file via Keyboard Shortcut.
An example for Puppies based on Xfce :

Code: Select all

Open your Keyboard Settings: Menu > Settings > Keyboard > Application Shortcuts
Add a new shortcut with the following command and shortcut:
exo-open --launch TerminalEmulator /home/david/openfile.sh
CTRL + SHIFT + ALT + O

However the above xdotool script leads to hang the system.
