| + | ====== Keyboard Macro's with xvkbd ====== | ||
| + | You can use xvkbd to run keyboard macro's. For example, the following command. | ||
| + | |||
| + | sleep 3; xvkbd -text "Hello\[Enter]World" | ||
| + | |||
| + | This will wait 3 seconds then type "Hello" then press the [Enter] key, then type "World". | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Macro Trick ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | To make a temporary macro that you can execute with a keystroke, you might create a file called "macro.tmp" in your home directory. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Now, assign the following command to a keystroke in your environment. | ||
| + | |||
| + | xvkbd -text "`cat ~/macro.tmp`" | ||
| + | |||
| + | Now, to create a macro, just edit the macro.tmp file. To launch it, just press the key combination you've assigned to the command above. Poof, instant macro. | ||
