Yes, got it working in the end. Found a few patches lying around the
web to fix various things, so it compiles cleanly now. You can use
mercurial to do a hg clone of my repository from
http://www.adamspiers.org/cgi-bin/hg.cgi/xmacro/
There appears to be a complete lack of sanity checking of the input
you feed it, so for example
echo "KeyStr Escape" | ./xmacroplay :0
works great, but
echo "KeySym Escape" | ./xmacroplay :0
will blow up in your face.
Attached is an example script which I have bound to Win-a in openbox.
#!/bin/sh
if [ -z "$DISPLAY" ]; then
echo "$0: no DISPLAY" >&2
exit 1
fi
if ! wmctrl -a emacs; then
echo "$0: wmctrl failed" >&2
exit 1
fi
# It seems there is some kind of timing issue which requires this
# sleep - probably we have to ensure that wmctrl has finished
# switching before feeding the command to emacs.
sleep 0.2
if true; then
# Use M-x org-agenda; works regardless of key-binding or current
# buffer. Also Escape should be more portable than Meta_L etc.
xmacroplay $DISPLAY <<EOF >/dev/null
KeyStr Escape
String xorg-agenda
KeyStr Return
EOF
else
# Another way of doing it since I bind C-c C-a to `org-agenda',
# but this only works if the current emacs buffer is in org-mode.
xmacroplay $DISPLAY <<EOF >/dev/null
KeyStrPress Control_L
String ca
KeyStrRelease Control_L
EOF
