On the #android part, this' what I've able to create so far, with #gemini .

Today, I'll work on the "Compose" page. The logic part of the Desktop side (on #Windows ) is almost ready. However, the UI side is still in development.

My main problem is actually on both the #linux window systems #wayland and #x11 .

#xdotool does work but the mouse-clicks remains frozen.

And on wayland, I'm not able to find a solution (for now).

Exploring the Fragmentation of Wayland, an xdotool adventure - semicomplete

In 2007, I was spending a my norther-hemisphere summer experimenting with UI automation. Born of those efforts, xdotool came into being when I separated it from another project. The goal was modest - write some scripts that execute common keyboard, mouse, and window management tasks. The first commit had only a few basic commands - basic mouse and keyboard actions, plus a few window management actions like movement, focus, and searching. Xdotool sprouted new features as time rolled on. Today, the project is 18 years old, and still going!

🌘 探索 Wayland 的碎片化：一次 xdotool 的冒險
➤ 從 X11 到 Wayland 的過渡，xdotool 的生存考驗與碎片化困境
✤ https://www.semicomplete.com/blog/xdotool-and-exploring-wayland-fragmentation/
本文回顧了 UI 自動化工具 xdotool 的發展歷程，並深入探討了其在 Linux 顯示伺服器 Wayland 環境下面臨的嚴峻挑戰。作者指出，Wayland 取代 X11 的過程中，許多 X11 原有的穩定功能（如視窗搜尋、滑鼠鍵盤操作、視窗管理）被移除或改變，以「安全」為名但實則造成功能缺失。這種設計導致了嚴重的碎片化問題：不同桌面環境（GNOME、KDE）和 compositor（基於 wlroots）需要各自獨立的解決方案來恢復這些功能，且實作方式五花八門，缺乏統一標準。例如，在 Wayland 上執行類似 xdotool 的操作，需要藉助 Xwayland、XDG Portal、libei、DBus，

@g1smo I was able to set up #touchegg only to find out that scroll gesture was removed in v2 due to its bad UX 😭 There are workarounds with #xdotool which I'll try out when I find further motivation.

Thanks for help.

#Texpander is a simple text expander for #Linux. It is sort of like #Autokey, except it works off of text files that you put in your ~/.texpander directory. Texpander is a #bash script that uses #xclip, #xdotool, and #zenity to let you type an abbreviation for something and it expands to whatever you have in the matching text file.

The videos embedded in www.funprogramming.org will be pointed at tubedu.org once they are all migrated.

So far I'm at 62 out of 154.

I didn't use the API but automated all the typing and clicking on the peertube instance using #bash and #xdotool :-)

Автоматизация мартышкиного труда с помощью Xdotool и Ansible

Всем привет! В этой небольшой статье я опишу простой способ, как можно автоматизировать 10 000+ ручных протыкиваний мышкой или клавиатурой на нескольких удаленных Linux-машинах (Xserver + SDDM). Допустим, есть в нашем распоряжении некоторый парк машин, на которых нужно проделать руками очень долгую и однотипную рутину, состоящую из примитивных действий с клавиатурой и мышкой. Задача облегчается наличием доступа по VNC, если машин хотя бы меньше 50 и клацать не так уж и много. А если нет?
