Anybody knowing a tool which simulates the keyboard typing ?

It is for using WKDocker in a script.

Thanks

What exactly do you want to use it for? AFAICT the only keyboard input would be the dockerPickWindow global shortcut and it could be invoked via D-Bus.

According to WKDocker doc :

Windows are docked using a KWin HotKey (by default Meta+Shift+P).
Press Meta+Shift+P and the window that is currently active should be docked.

I want the ability to write a statement in a script according to dock a window.
This statement must send keyboard typing Meta+Shift+P.

I found input-emulator app.

But it is a buggy one. I sent a bug report and a question to know if this app can send
Meta+Shift+P

In parallel, I sent a request to wkdocker team if there is some dbus command for sending Meta+Shift+P.

Thanks
but can you explain this ?

What shortcut I must create ?

You do not need to create anything, it is created by your program (WKDocker). I have no idea whether it offers any configuration options to change hot keys (which is implied by the “by default”), it appears to be hardcoded in the program.

OK

I found in source code in main.js, at the end. Thus I understand.

registerShortcut("dockerPickWindow", "dockerPickWindow", "Meta+Shift+P", pickWindow);
registerShortcut("dockerCommandAvailable", "dockerCommandAvailable", "", dockerCommandAvailable)

I am going to test your dbus command

Thanks

Thank you very, very much.

The dbus command works well.
