- xdotool lets you simulate keyboard input and mouse activity, move and resize windows, etc. It does this using X11’s XTEST extension and other Xlib functions.
- ⚠️ Note: If you are using Wayland, please be aware this software will not work correctly. See the 'Wayland' section below for more detail.
- With xdotool, you can search for windows and move, resize, hide, and modify window properties like the title. If your window manager supports it, you can use xdotool to switch desktops, move windows between desktops, and change the number of desktops.
- Also in this repository is
libxdo, a C library for doing the same. - You may view the user documentation in xdotool.pod
