SYNOPSIS

       xsendkeys keystring

DESCRIPTION

       xsendkeys  is  a  simple  program which allows you to send a key or key
       combination to X. For example: xsendkeys a will send the letter  a.  If
       you  wanted  to  send a capital a 'A' you would have to send: xsendkeys
       Shift_L+a

       xsendkeys Shift_L+Right  will  send  the  key  combination  shift+right
       arrow.  The  names  of  the keys must be the exact names X would expect
       (use xev to see keynames when in doubt). Unlike xsendkeycode  xsendkeys
       automatically sends corresponding keydown and keyup events. This helper
       application is not used  from  lineakd(1)  but  is  included  to  allow
       scripts to send keys to X.
