<div><br></div><div>I've been digging into the generatekeyevent issue. It seems like some key code values are hardcoded and others are read from xmodmap output, but the result is not right for our configuration. Based on my limited knowledge, it seems the Right Thing to use xmodmap to arrange all the key mappings. Is there a better way? Should we be doing something differently to make the current code work?</div>

</span></div><br><div>Hi -<br><br>I'm trying to use LDTP to script a web browser. I'd like to use generatekeyevent to type things into browser text boxes and web forms, but I don't understand the mapping between the string I pass to generatekeyevent and the resulting key events in my window. Eg:<br>
<br>generatekeyevent("abcdefghijkmlnopqrstuwxyz")<br><br>produces<br><br>asqc9def;ghuit'`7-b=]8p[o <br><br>in an xterm window.<br><br>I see that there's a remapping done in get_keyval_id using _get_key_value which uses a hardcoded _char_key map. <br>
<br>Do I need to change my X or Gnome configuration to match this _char_key map? (How?) Or is there a function I should use to transform my string before I pass it to generatekeyevent?<br><br>Thanks!<br><br>Mike</div></blockquote>
