Problem
You want to remote control a program but unfortunately this program has only a “klick&gaudy”(*) interface.
(*) Okok – only has a graphical user interface (short GUI).
Solution
You may use xdotool in order to script user actions. To install this tool, use:
sudo apt-get install xdotool
Now you can get the position of the mouse pointer with:
xdotool getmouselocation
or set it via:
xdotool mousemove 400 300 (This means set the mouse to position x=400, y=300; Point of origin is the top left corner of the screen.)
In order to click use:
xdotool click 1
And in order to type a text (e.g. into a control field of the GUI)
xdotool type 'Hello World'
(P.S.: xdotool has much more options … Once this tool got installed type man xdotool in order to see them all.)
