Currently the two commands are type
and key
. type
is used to type a character and key
is used to type a special character like Enter
or Backspace
.
type
is specified by ‘{kb_cmd:xdotool}:’, and key
is specified by ‘{kb_cmd:kxdotool}:’. If the command is not specified and alwaysUseXdotool
is set from the environment variable, it will default to type
.
if alwaysUseXdotool || strings.HasPrefix(message_string, "{kb_cmd:xdotool}:") {
message_string = strings.TrimPrefix(message_string, "{kb_cmd:xdotool}:")
if message_string == "" {
message_string = "\n"
}
if characterRegex.MatchString(message_string) {
for _, character := range message_string {
charString := string(character)
if charString == "\n" {
charString = "Enter"
} else if charString == "\t" {
charString = "Tab"
} else if charString == "\b" {
charString = "BackSpace"
} else{
doXDoTool("type", charString)
continue
}
// key is required for special characters
err = doXDoTool("key", charString)
continue
}
continue
} else {
doXDoTool("type", message_string)
}
continue
} else if strings.HasPrefix(message_string, "{kb_cmd:kxdotool}:") {
message_string = strings.TrimPrefix(message_string, "{kb_cmd:kxdotool}:")
if message_string == "" {
message_string = "\n"
}
doXDoTool("key", message_string)
continue
}
