I've got an application written for Linux that compiles and mostly
works on FreeBSD. However, one feature isn't working. At one point, it
wants to make the application owning a specific window think that a
specific key was pressed. The original author wasn't quite sure how to
do this, as witness the comment:
/* I am not sure which of the following fields I have to fill in or
what to fill them in with (rcy) I wouldnt be suprised if this
breaks in some cases. */
Well, FreeBSD using XFree86-4 seems to be one of the cases, as
debugging output shows the XSendEvent being run, but the underlying
applications don't react to the key.
Could an X guru provide a correct example of faking a key press event?
Thanx,
<mike
