Hop on over to the xdotool project page and download the new version.

The changelist from the previous announced release is as follows:

20090612:
  * Fixed bug where shift modifier was not reset when 'xdotool type' used.

Hop on over to the xdotool project page and download the new version.

The changelist from the previous announced release is as follows:

20090609:
  * Add '--delay ' to xdotool type. Sets the delay between keys.
  * Add '--window ' to xdotool type, key, keyup, and keydown.
    This feature (key events with --window ) only works if the
    application does not reject X events that have 'send_event' set to true.

    Special notes:
    * Firefox appears to ignore all input when it does not have focus.
    * xterm ignores sendevent by default, ctrl+leftclick menu will let you
      enable it.
    * gnome-terminal appears to accept send_event input by default

A new release of xdotool is available. It fixes two bugs that were moderately annoying.

20090126:
  * Change the default behavior of 'getwindowfocus' to get the first
    ancestor-or-self window that has WM_CLASS set. WM_CLASS will be set on
    (all?) top-level windows and it's possible that the currently focused window
    according to X is not a top-level window. To use the previous behavior, use
    'getwindowfocus -f'
  * Make 'xdotool key at' work correctly. 'at' is usually Shift+2, for example.
    Now all shifted characters should work, but I've only tested on a US
    keyboard.
  * Minor Makefile fixes for package maintainers.

I've tested it in GNOME and Ion-3 with success.

The new C version of grok is ready for beta testing.

The requirements are listed in the INSTALL file. There are piles of differences between the new C version and the old perl version, including a different config file syntax to let you more easily batch common input sets through the same set of matches. I'll publish a complete feature list when I get around to it, which isn't right now.

The tarball comes with a sample grok.conf that shows you a a few different things you can do with the new version.

To run it, once you've built it, you must have a 'grok.conf' in the same directory from which you are running the 'grok' binary.

Please send any questions you have to grok-users@googlegroups.com.

Hop on over to the keynav project page and download the new version.

The changelist from the previous announced release is as follows:

20080614.01:
  - Several bug fixes and feature additions suggested by Yuri D'Elia.
  - Sync xdotool library to 20080606
  - Added default key binding Ctrl+[ as 'end' (requested by Luke Macken)
  - New command: 'sh' - Executes shell commands.
    Example keynavrc: ctrl+x sh "xterm -bg black -fg white"
  - New command: 'history-back' - Undo a window change operation
    Example keynavrc: a history-back
    + Such operations include: cut-*, grid, cell-select, move-*
    + The history size is currently hard-coded at 100 entries.
    + If you exceed 100 moves, the oldest entry will be removed.
    + Every time keynav is activated, the history is wiped.
  - Fix: Any command starting with "start" is now bound globally.
  - Fix: All rendering is delayed until after the end of the current command
    sequence. This fixes (in order of annoyance, worst first):
    1) Crash when a 'start' and 'end' exist in the same command sequence.
    2) Visible 2x2 grid first, before a 3x3 grid when the start command is
       'start, grid 3x3'
    3) Rendering blinking a full white window on the screen before clipping to
       the grid.
    4) Visible blink when "cut-left,cut-up" and such are run simultaneously.
  - Fix: If the 'start' command is invoked again while keynav is active, then
    the default arrangement is set (full screen and 2x2 grid). Previously, the
    'start' command was a no-op if keynav was active.

Hop on over to the xdotool project page and download the new version.

I've also put up an HTML version of the manpage: xdotool.xhtml.

The changelist from the previous announced release is as follows:

20080606:
  * Correctly report an error if xdotool is invoked with an invalid command.
  * Fix invalid error code reporting from 'windowraise'

Hop on over to the xdotool project page and download the new version.

The changelist from the previous announced release is as follows:

20080603:
  * Daniel Kahn Gillmor reported a problem with return codes from xdotool. All
    commands return proper exit status now (0 == success, nonzero == error)
  * I tested on 3 window managers: Gnome2 2.20.0, OpenBox 3.4, ion-3rc-20070608
    - Gnome2 and OpenBox pass all tests.
    - ion-3 fails on any desktop-related methods (ion-3 lacks the support).

Hop on over to the xdotool project page and download the new version.

The changelist from the previous announced release is as follows:

20080601:
  * Add new commands:
    - windowactivate: Activate a window. If the window is on another desktop, we
        will switch to that desktop and then activate the window.
    - set_num_desktops number: Changes the number of desktops or workspaces.
    - get_num_desktops: Output the current number of desktops.
    - set_desktop desktop_number: Change the current view to the specified
        desktop.
    - get_desktop: Output the current desktop in view.
    - set_desktop_for_window window_id desktop_number: Move a window to a
        different desktop.
    - get_desktop_for_window window_id: Output the desktop currently containing
        the given window.

    windowactivate tested and confirmed working in: ion-3 and Gnome2 (metacity)
    The rest of the new commands have only been tested in Gnome2. They do not
    work in ion-3 due to lacking support for EWMH in ion.
  * Rewrote the man page in perlpod format.

I got enough feature requests for grid support (in various layouts) that I decided it was time to add generic grid support. You can now use grid movement on grids of any configuration, 2x2, 3x3, 2x3, etc.

Hop on over to the keynav project page and download the new version.

The changelist from the previous announced release is as follows:

  Feature request: Grid support.
  * New command: 'grid NxM' N and M are row and columns, respectively.
    You can divide the screen into any number of rows and columns.
    The default is 2x2.
  * New command: 'cell-select N' or 'cell-select NxM'
    With this command you can select a specific cell to zoom to.
    Usage: cell-select N
      Selects the Nth cell, counting from top left to bottom right.
      The order of a 3x3 grid would be:
        1 2 3
        4 5 6
        7 8 9
    Usage: cell-select NxM
      Selects the specific cell at NxM. '2x2' will select row 2 column 2.

  Other important changes:
  - Whitespace before command names works now.
  - Added a pile of new examples in keynavrc.
