What I want to achieve through a shell script is - after executing it from the command line - that by means of a keyboard shortcut my mouse clicks on a give location on the screen.
In detail:
- a dual monitor setup (1 extended desktop)
- 3 instances of konqueror are open running the same Java applet
- i activate this script from the com. line (./myscript)
- when I click for example ctrl+h my mouse should click the OK button in the first konqueror screen, when i click ctrl+l i should click a cancel button in the 2nd konq screen (the actual shortcut combo doesn’t matter, any will do for me)
- the resized konq screen are always in the same line up, so the location where the mouseclick should happen is a fixed position
- I run kde 3.5.9 r 49.1 on opensuse 11.0
Some questions I have
- Unsure where to start, the proper vocabulary to start my search, the best way/tool to achieve this … (on a windows box i would probably do this with autohotkey).
- Does it matter what application i use, does I have to address the application window in my script or is an x/y coordinate enough?
- Does it matter that I have a dual monitor setup? (my main monitor is the right one, where the panel is located).
- Whats the best tool to determine the exact x/y coordinations where the click needs to happen?
Any thoughts, tips, links to howto’s, example scripts to get me started are much appreciated and very welcome.
cheers
