Just the fact that dcop is active is encouraging. I found some stuff I recorded on my home TWiki (guess it's time to move it to WikiLearn) -- read the third paragraph below and try some of the commands listed below that: (PS: I agree, I don't think middle button pasting is a valid test of dcop -- don't think dcop has anything to do with that (but I could be wrong).) <quoted from Advogato, http://www.advogato.org/article/242.html > Some of this already works in KDE 2, posted 11 Feb 2001 by tackat> What if the Unix GUI didn't need a mouse? What if every application could be controlled solely with the keyboard? This is already possible in KDE 2 for a long time via DCOP. Fire up kwrite (make sure you don't have two kwrites there at the same time -- otherwise you have to add the pid to those commands) and type into your favourite xterm: --snip-- dcop kwrite KWriteIface insertText 'Windows rocks!' true dcop kwrite KWriteIface setCursorPosition 0 8 true dcop kwrite KWriteIface insertText 'sux! KDE ' true dcop kwrite KWriteIface shiftHome dcop kwrite KWriteIface writeFile 'conquer_your_desktop.txt' --snip-- or check your Mail using KMail by entering: dcop kmail KMailIface checkMail or bind the command "dcop kdesktop KScreensaverIface? lock" to your "Pause"-key using kmenuedit. That way you can start kscreensaver by pressing the "Pause"-key. To explore the possibilities you might want to use kdcop. </quote> > Did you hear that BeOS has sued Microsoft? Yes, but there is too much news -- I have trouble remembering most of it. If they win, I think I'll remember that. regards, Randy Kramer
