NOTE: If you enter everything correctly and your system supports xdotool, then Firefox should close. To close Firefox, I need to send it the keystroke of alt+f to open the File menu, then a 'Q' to select Quit.
Now, let us assume I wanted to do something easy, to shutdown Firefox with the xdotool command. I received only one response of “52428942” since there is only one match for the title name of 'google' on the system. I could have searched for any word of the title name of 'google mozilla firefox'. Use this name or part of it to determine the window id as shown in Figure 1. When any application is opened, the title bar shows the window title. “TITLE” is replaced with a part or all of the title of the window. To find the window id of a specific window, use the following command: Finding the id is a simple procedure which will be covered more in another article, but I can give the basics of it now since it is needed. You may wonder how you find the id of a specific window. Looking at the previous options for the key command, you may have noticed the –window option which requires the window id. The keystrokes would be 'alt+f o', or even the shortcut key 'ctrl+o'. Another example would be to open a file in LibreOffice Writer. When simultaneous keys are pressed, such as CTRL and 'x', the keystroke would be: 'ctrl+x'. For example, to perform a single keystroke of a space and then an 'x' would be: 'space x'.
SENDING KEYSTROKES TO ELINKS PLUS
A space is placed between individual keystrokes and simultaneous keystrokes are connected with a plus (+) sign.
-delay milliseconds – sets the delay between each keystroke being sent, the default is 12 ms.-clearmodifiers – all modifiers are cleared, such as CAPS LOCK, NUM LOCK, shift held down, a mouse button held down, etc.-window window_id – specified keys for the keystrokes are sent to the window_id application.There are three options available for the key command: Let's start with sending keystrokes to a window by using the 'key' command. The syntax for xdotool depends on the command being used. Later articles will cover the xdotool ability to perform mouse input as well as window and desktop manipulation. The commands can also be used to make a script of many xdotool commands to perform large tasks. The xdotool is a utility used from the terminal or in a script to manually perform keyboard input.
