ydokey

Built with Crystal Crystal CI GitHub release ydokey

A simple command-line utility for Linux to convert key commands to raw keycodes which used in ydotool

The Why & The How

From ydotool key:

Since there's no way to know how many keyboard layouts are there in the world, we're using raw keycodes now.

Syntax: <keycode>:<pressed>

See /usr/include/linux/input-event-codes.h for available key codes (KEY_*).

For example Ctrl+F8.

What you want is:

ydotool key 29:1 66:1 29:0 66:0

With ydokey you can do the same with:

ydotool key $(ydokey -k Ctrl+F8)

See ydokey -h for more info.
