New xdotool for your enjoyment.
Download: http://semicomplete.googlecode.com/files/xdotool-2.20100524.2888.tar.gz
Major changes:
- xdotool getmouselocation now supports --shell for outputting something you can simply eval into your shell
- Added 'sync' support to several commands. The --sync flag, if supported,
will wait until the requested operation has completed before exiting.
- Added --polar (polar coordinate) support to mousemove
- Fixed some keymap bugs
As usual, if you find problems or have feature requests, please file bugs or send an
email to the list.
Changelist since previous announcement:
2.20100524.*:
- Add --sync flag to many commands. This flag will make any supporting command
block until the operation completes. For example, a 'windowmove --sync' will
only exit once the window has moved. Commands supported:
* windowactivate
* windowfocus
* windowmap
* windowmove
* windowunmap
- Fix http://code.google.com/p/semicomplete/issues/detail?id=21
Multiple keyboard layouts are now supported better. Added unit tests
to ensure consistency in typing across releases.
- Added polar coordinate support to mouse movement. 'mousemove' and
'mousemove_relative' support this. Flag is --polar. 'x' becomes angle (degrees)
and 'y' becomes distance. The default origin is screen center. If you specify
a window (to mousemove) then the origin is the center of that window.
Requested by Paul S on the xdotool-users mailing list.
- internal: Reworked testing to be less flakey
http://code.google.com/p/semicomplete/issues/detail?id=30
- internal: split commands into one per C file
- API changes that required a version bump.
* xdo_keysequence and friends now take a delay.
- New libxdo functions:
* xdo_window_wait_for_map_state
* xdo_window_wait_for_active
* xdo_get_window_location
* xdo_window_wait_for_focus
1.20100415.*:
- Add support for searching classnames (not just class)
- Support switched xkbmaps. We do this by checking if the keycode found for a keysym
has that keysym as the first or second (normal or with shift-key) mapping, if not
we pretend we didn't find it and request it be bound as if the keysym wasn't mapped
to any key.
This is a hack to avoid knowing what other modifiers are required to type
keysyms mapped at indexes 2 or beyond (0 is normal, 1 is shift, 2 and beyond
are unknown).
Verified fixes this: http://code.google.com/p/semicomplete/issues/detail?id=13
Should fix some of this: http://code.google.com/p/semicomplete/issues/detail?id=21
- Add --shell flag to getmouselocation. This will output data you can safely
eval in your shell.
- Add platform detection for Darwin when building.
Should fix: http://code.google.com/p/semicomplete/issues/detail?id=28
1.20100325.*:
- Fix bug in search where --name wasn't working. Test written to cover this.
http://code.google.com/p/semicomplete/issues/detail?id=25
1.20100318.*:
- Bug fixes only this release
- Rewrote tests to use ruby and will now test against Xvfb and Xephyr using:
no window manager, openbox, and then gnome.
- Fix build problems on Arch linux (or gentoo?)
Fixes: http://code.google.com/p/semicomplete/issues/detail?id=20
- Fix searching for only visible windows.
Fixes: http://code.google.com/p/semicomplete/issues/detail?id=22
- Fix xdotool search flags: --title, --name, --class
- Add include for keysym.h to fix compile errors reported on the mailing
list.
