[gentoo-user] Looking for utility to send X low level events
I am back to my on-again, off-again task of trying to get firefox to print, this time I have thought of sending a running instance various X events to fake a URL, the print command, print file name, etc. I found a few old and crufty programs to record and playback macros, but they don't work well and haven't been updated in years. Does anyone know of any programs that manipulate X events on a low level? I figure it will need to either record and play back events, or let me describe them in an editable file. I don't know much about the low level X structure, but if there is some way to identify and choose event handlers (main window, popup window, menus, buttons) by name, that would be superb. I don't mind crufty programs as long as they at least work. -- ... _._. ._ ._. . _._. ._. ___ .__ ._. . .__. ._ .. ._.
