Emit a Key Event

[Marco Gergele]

Hi,

on certain conditions I want to simulate a Key Press on active client, the
Key "Scroll lock", which xev calls ISO_Next_Group keycode 78.

How can I send that key from rc.lua? Any hint?

switchKey = awful.key({}, "#78");
switchKey:emit_signal("press")

doesnt't work, it just wants to execute "press". :-(

That must be used in controlling audio players or similar tasks too, so I
wonder I can't find any hint on it.

Any help really welcome!
Marco.
