xdotool: simulating keyboard input
xdotool can simulate inputs like keyboard or mouse, including pressing down and release, mouse cursor position. Also some window control functions.
In this video, I only showed very basic keyboard simulation, typing in a string, or pressing down a modifier key. There are more you can do with xdotool, see xdotool(1).
Example commands:
xdotool type string
xdotool key alt+Tab ctrl+alt+f 1 2 3 a b Return alt+F4
xdotool key --delay 100 f o o b a r # delay 100ms
xdotool keydown space # spamming space key
xdotool version 2.20110530.1
