How to set the mouse position under X11 (linux des

问题:

I'm wondering how to set the mouse cursor position under X11? Is it possible at all and if, where do I have to look for appropriate functions? X window system, KDE/Gnome/...?

回答1:

Sounds like you're using X, so what you probably want is XWarpPointer. To give an absolute position on the whole screen, use the Root Window as dest window.

(You can get a quick and dirty list of X functions using ls /usr/share/man/man3/ | grep '^X')

I know the question is old, but I just discovered xdotool and it seems great:

Try using xte command (part of xautomation package). Details here

If you are doing it in an xterm, the Xterm understands ANSI control codes. There is a list of these codes here.

To do from a shell script, use the xwit commandline tool.
