Thanks for sample! I confirm, that fake_input works, but still there are some
strange things for me. I listed 2 cases below. By the way, why do you use timers
with fake_input() ? Is it some kind of workaround or just application logic ?
1. NOT working code
===================
Seems, that 2 calls to fake_input somehow 'annihilate' each other.
function sendkey(code, m)
-- Note: i've tried other windows too, it all the same.
if client.focus.class ~= "Evince" then
return
end
root.fake_input("key_press", code)
root.fake_input("key_release", code)
end
globalkeys = awful.util.table.join(
awful.key({ modkey }, "t", function () sendkey(99) end), -- 99 is code
of PgUp
... and so on
)
2. Working code
===============
This one works. Note exactly 1 call to fake_input
function sendkey(code)
if client.focus.class ~= "Evince" then
return
end
root.fake_input("key_release", code)
end
globalkeys = awful.util.table.join(
awful.key({ modkey }, "t", function () sendkey(99) end, -- 99 is code
of PgUp
... and so on
)
