Xautomation

[disciple]

Thanks Barry for finding this

Extract to /usr/bin or somewhere.
Even though it's tiny, I'll split it up, as you are likely to only want xte, which sends events to X.

e.g. I can run

alltray -nt -k "F11" xtmix

, which swallows xtmix with alltray, and assigns the F11 key to toggle its visibility, and then run

Code: Select all

xte 'key F11'

to toggle it from other programs.

If you want to send an event to a specific window then use xse.

EDIT - someone found xdotool, which I think is a good alternative to both xse and xautomation and does window manager stuff as well (e.g. sending a window to a specific desktop). It is bundled in the pastecolour http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=45477 and pastelist http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=45327 packages.
You can get documentation for xdotool here http://www.semicomplete.com/projects/xd ... tool.xhtml
