matt, a possible option is to look at xvoice. voice recognition software does precisely the same thing: given some alternate form of input, insert "typed characters" into X. you might want to see how they do it.
Good suggestion. Thanks.
Yeah, I kind of figured as much. This is another one of those little problems for which the solution just might be too obscure to be practical. I thought I'd float the question just in case I was overlooking something obvious, though. But I will take a look at xvoice.you also might want to look into gdk. gdk is a very low lovel wrapper library for xlib. it's probably just as complicated (or nearly so) but it hides some of the details and isn't as long winded. i've played with gdk a bit, but i don't know how to solve your problem with what i know of that library. anyway, you might want to look into gdk rather than xlib. gdk also has the benefit of being portable across windowing systems. i'm betting you can solve your problem with it. lugod has 2 or 3 books on xlib in the library if you decide to pursue that. out of all the libraries i've played with (and i love to tinker), xlib was the only one i gave up on because it's hardness-to-interesting ratio was so high...
Thanks,
Matt
