yes, but I am having a little problem that I have to figure out first.
I define the following, which should work, but when I push F6 for mouse
up I dont get a mouse up :-(.
Key F5 A A exec xte 'mousedown 1'
Key F6 A A exec xte 'mouseup 1'
however If I define this:
Key F7 A A exec xte 'mousedown 1' && sleep 10 && xte 'mouseup 1'
mouse up and mouse down work fine.
does anyone here have experience with the xtest extension? this program
(xte) basicly uses these two functions:
XTestFakeButtonEvent( display, button, True, delay );
XTestFakeButtonEvent( display, button, False, delay );
for mouse up and mouse down events.
Anyways as soon as I figure out what is going on here, I will report
back.
Thanks,
sa
