From a script you could do it like this: xtrapin <<EOF Event: KeyPress (2):det=109 scr=0 (0,0) root=32768 Msk=0 TS=5621 Event: KeyPress (2):det=117 scr=0 (0,0) root=32768 Msk=0 TS=209 Event: KeyPress (2):det=107 scr=0 (0,0) root=32768 Msk=0 TS=260 Event: KeyRelease (3):det=107 scr=0 (0,0) root=32768 Msk=0 TS=143 Event: KeyRelease (3):det=117 scr=0 (0,0) root=32768 Msk=0 TS=2892 Event: KeyRelease (3):det=109 scr=0 (0,0) root=32768 Msk=0 TS=244 EOF This was cut from the output of "xtrapout -e" while I pressed the keys in question. You could also store those lines in file and use "xtrapin -f file". Read man xtrap for more information. -- Måns Rullgård mru@xxxxxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list XFree86@xxxxxxxxxxx http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
