But +more important, I've added two new ways to specify characters. + +You can specify characters by symbol using \( and \), using +the symbol definitions from /usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h. For +example, \(BackSpace\) would insert a backspace character. + +You can also specify control characters using the up-caret ^ +character. So you could get that same backspace character with ^H. + +0.8.1 just fixes a new compiler warning, no functional changes. +0.8.2 adds -lXext to the link line -- some systems added that + automatically, but making it explicit is better. +0.8.3 adds a bunch more new ways to specify characters, fixes + some bugs, and switches back to XTest as the default (use + -x to use XSendEvent). + +I also have a new, experimental, Python version called pykey, +which requires the python-xlib library. It might be useful for +people who don't have a compiler installed, or as a demo of how +to generate key events in python-xlib. Try it out: pykey-0.1. |
