App shortcut to toggle Ctrl-F3 - Justindu - 09-19-2021

Is it possible to create an application shortcut that executes a keystroke?  like Ctrl+F3?

From the Applications menu in OAP, I'd like to toggle to Autobox - CarPlay by touching a shortcut icon.

Have a look at 'xdotool'. You can run the command and have it send the keystokes you want. With the --window option you can even direct it to a specific window if you like.

#!/bin/bash

# Get the "window id"
result=$(wmctrl -l | grep 'autoapp' | grep -Eo '0x[0-9a-f]+')
# Convert hex to decimal
window=$(echo $(($result)))

# Send "c" keystroke to OAP/AA to pause music

xdotool windowactivate --sync $window key C

I am using the above script to toggle pause.

bizarre - I'll see if I can host the images somewhere public. Wish I could just paste it into the post. - Ah, I figured out the attachment feature. Hope you can see the screen shot now. Thank you.
