XTestFakeKeyEvent and direction arrows

[Giuseppe Penone]

Hi and thanks for your example code.
Using your function "sendKey" unfortunately all keysyms work but the
direction arrows,
result that I already obtained.
The direction arrows still produce the effect:
- up and down cause no visible effect
- right and left cause right+down and left+up.
