dnoland Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 So... this is a sort of strange mission objective... What I want to do is bind a key combo, say <ctrl><shift>j, and have that preform some directional arrow movement the same as it would if I pressed the down arrow... I know... that is strange... but I have my reasons... So, from the dark times back before I changed over form M$ to a real OS, we used macros for many things... and key bindings were one of them. Looking for a linux analog to that, i found xmacro. So I have now made a shell script that does this... echo -e "KeyStrPress Right \n KeyStrRelease Right" | xmacroplay :0 and then I set that up as a key command in metacities... but this does not seem to work... anyone know why / have a better solution (kinda hoping for the latter)... Oh... by the way... I am on Ubuntu Feisty 64bit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
