Re: [XFree86] XTestFakeKeyEvent() and key repetition
Hi I am sorry the answer took so long! I've just compiled your code and I get a lot 1 keys pressed dusrng 5 seconds, so your code does the job... or do I miss something? It generates a key press and five seconds later a key release. Nothing more, nothing less. No repetition at all. OK... I think you have to turn on autorepeat for the key(s). Take a look at the following man pages: XChangeKeyboardControl XAutoRepeatOn (and off) xev output: --8-- KeyPress event, serial 27, synthetic NO, window 0x221, root 0x89, subw 0x222, time 1828774, (37,45), root:(879,585), state 0x0, keycode 10 (keysym 0x31, 1), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 1 characters: 1 KeyRelease event, serial 27, synthetic NO, window 0x221, root 0x89, subw 0x222, time 1833774, (37,45), root:(879,585), state 0x0, keycode 10 (keysym 0x31, 1), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 1 characters: 1 --8-- I probably need to find another function... But it's working for you? It is! This is how I compiled (on GNU/Linux (Debian) + XFree86 + gcc): gcc testx.c -o testx -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXtst -lX11 ./testx and yes, I called your snippet of code testx.c Yes, that's how I compile it too.

Re: [XFree86] XTestFakeKeyEvent() and key repetition
Hallo
To begin with, I let some other dudes test the program and I got different
reports... :) It repeated for some, but not for all. You don't happen to be
running 4.3? That could be an explanation.
I think this has nothing to do with the version you/they are running.
Someone has set you key to NOT be repeated. I think you should set your
key(s) to autorepat. You can do it globally like this:
#include X11/Xlib.h
#include stdio.h
int
fake_me (Display *dpy)
{
XTestFakeKeyEvent(dpy, 10, True, 0);
XFlush(dpy);
sleep(2);
XTestFakeKeyEvent(dpy, 10, False, 0);
XFlush(dpy);
}
int main()
{
Display *dpy;
dpy =XOpenDisplay(NULL);
XAutoRepeatOn(dpy);
fake_me(dpy);
printf (-\n); fflush (stdout);
XAutoRepeatOff(dpy);
fake_me(dpy);
printf (-\n); fflush (stdout);
XAutoRepeatOn(dpy);
fake_me(dpy);
XCloseDisplay(dpy);
}
Which you can compile with:
gcc -o autox autox.c -I/usr/X11R6/include -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 -lXtst
and yes, the file to save this crap into shalt be calleth: autox.c
Does that work?
Hi I am sorry the answer took so long!
Oh, yes... I was beginning to get really mad at you! :)
OK... I think you have to turn on autorepeat for the key(s). Take a look
at the following man pages:
XChangeKeyboardControl
XAutoRepeatOn (and off)
Thanks, I'll check them out.
Well, get in with it;)
... and while you're at it:
XGetKeyboardControl
So why the hell are we writing in English? :)
Vet ej!

What X server etc are you running? XFree86 Version 4.2.1.1 (Debian 4.2.1-14 20031113215638 [EMAIL PROTECTED]) / X Window System (The latest in Debian Sid.) What is not working? Isn't the key repeated? Don't you want the key to repeat? It's not being repeated at all. I want it to be repeated just like if I had pressed the 1 button physically on my keyboard.

[XFree86] XTestFakeKeyEvent() and key repetition
Hello,
I'm writing a program that turns joystick button presses and axis movements
into X events via XTestFakeKeyEvent(). What I need to know is how to make
the code snippet below act exactly like if I had held the 1 key (keycode
10) for 5 seconds. Any help appreciated. And yes, the code below is ugly.
Please CC me, I'm not on the list.
--8--
#include X11/Xlib.h
#include X11/extensions/XTest.h
int main()
{
Display *display = XOpenDisplay(NULL);
XTestFakeKeyEvent(display, 10, True, 0);
XFlush(display);
sleep(5);
XTestFakeKeyEvent(display, 10, False, 0);
XFlush(display);
XCloseDisplay(display);
return 0;
}
--8--
