i have no problem doing this in 14.10. i'm loading up 14.04.1 to see if i have this problem and will report back.
here's what i did: 1. ran xwininfo 2. clicked on a lxterminal 3. minimized the lxterminal 4. opened another lxterminal 5. ran xdotool key --window WINDOWID ctrl+r (the window key is in hex so 0xsomething) 6. maximized the original lxterminal 7. found that it was trying to a reverse search in bash, which is what ctrl+r does -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1311490 Title: Xdotool is not working on none-active window To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lubuntu-meta/+bug/1311490/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
