Usage (command-line flags)
|
|
==========================
|
|
Usage: crikey [-itxr] [-sS sleeptime] string...
|
|
Send key events, as if args was typed in whatever X window currently has focus.
|
|
Flags:
|
|
-s seconds: sleep time before sending
|
|
-S milliseconds: sleep time before sending
|
|
Many window managers need a delay for focus shifting
|
|
or to allow a modifier button to be released.
|
|
-i: Interactive (read input from stdin)
|
|
-t: Use XTest to send events (default)
|
|
-x: Use XSendEvent to send events
|
|
-r: Send events to root window (only with XSendEvent)
|
|
-l: Show long (more detailed) help
|
|
-d: Show debug messages
|
|
|
|
If there are multiple arguments, single spaces will be inserted between them.
|
|
|

Crikey input options
|
|
====================
|
|
Sample usage:
|
|
|
|
crikey -s 1 'My long string\nExtending over two lines.'
|
|
|
|
Using quotes around the string is normally recommended, to avoid problems with
|
|
your shell treating any characters specially, especially backslashes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Special characters and syntaxes
|
|
===============================
|
|
Control characters use ^: ^A sends a Control-A
|
|
Numeric ASCII codes (decimal only): \27 sends ESC
|
|
|
|
Special codes:
|
|
\t tab, \b backspace, \n newline, \r return, \d delete, \e escape, \\ backslash
|
|
|
|
Modifier keys:
|
|
\S shift, \C control, \A alt, \M or \W for the "Windows" key. These must be
|
|
capitalized, and they only apply to the next single character, so \Aabc will
|
|
send alt-A followed by b and c with no modifier keys.
|
|
|
|
Special symbols with \( \): \(Return\) ... these are defined in
|
|
/usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h, but only those defined on your keyboard will
|
|
likely work.
|
|
|
|
|
|
A Note on Xterm
|
|
===============
|
|
Crikey will work out of the box for most terminal emulators, but xterm blocks
|
|
events generated with XSendEvent by default. To use crikey with xterm, you have
|
|
two options:
|
|
|
|
* Use crikey -t, to use the X Test extension instead of XSendEvent (this is now the default).
|
|
* Add to your .Xdefaults file: XTerm*allowSendEvents: true
|
|
|
|
Setting up Crikey in your Window Manager
|
|
|
|
The most common way to use Crikey is to bind specific crikey commands to keys
|
|
in your window manager (for instance, Shift-F12 might send a particular string).
|
|
|
|
The procedure for making key bindings is different in every window manager,
|
|
so I've moved the instructions for all the various window managers to a separate
|
|
page: Making Crikey! work on various window managers.
