Sending X KeyPress events with Xlib?

I am a fairly experienced TCL programmer considering a move to Python for my
next project. The project will receive text via TCP from a Windows box
running speech recognition software and send corresponding keystroke
sequences to the window with the current mouse pointer. I've been playing
with the Python-xlib package and it looks promising.

Could anyone provide some guidance on how to generate X KeyPress events to
the current window based on a string?

Thanks, Ed Suominen

I am creating a small app called PyQe (http://klibb.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl/PyQe) to launch commands and programs quickly. I works more or less as I want it now and I have managed to make my window manager (Metacity) under Mandrake GNU/Linux start my program so that it can be started easily with just a keypress. Now, the only annoyance I have is that when I have not started the program for a while, the OS seems to not have Python or the...

I currently have an event handler setup to handle keypress events. the handler only takes the same arguments as the keypress event (object sender, System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs e). I need to somehow pass the control to the event to evaluate how many characters have been types into the text box and limit them to a max of 4 characters if a decimal has been entered in the third spot or 3 charaters if just numbers have been entered....

Hi, I have two applications developed in C# say A and B. When user presses key "L" with applicaition A active , it causes a keypress event which causes application B to run. Application A then waits for application B to exit. On exit from Application B the focus shifts back to application A. The problem is if user presses L more than once, say thrice, then three keypress events are generated. Therefore application A starts

I have noticed that if a user closes a form via pressing return (either while the OK button has focus or if AcceptButton is set to OK for the form) then the "ENTER" keypress event fires ON THE CALLING FORM! This is very bad for me, because in my application, Form1 responds to an ENTER keypress by calling Form2. If the user closes Form2 via an ENTER, then Form1 just reopens it again, kind of trapping the user in Form2 (they can still close...

Hi In Visual Basic 6 I could call keypress with an integer of a choosen key. For example I could call a textbox's keypress with the number 13 (for the enter key).

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
