Function

Atspi-2.0 ▶ Atspi ▶ generate_keyboard_event

generate_keyboard_event(
    keyval: number,
    keystring: string,
    synth_type: Atspi.KeySynthType,
): boolean
Synthesizes a keyboard event (as if a hardware keyboard event occurred in the current UI context).
Parameters
- keyval: number
  a gint indicating the keycode or keysym or modifier mask of the key event being synthesized.
- keystring: string
  an (optional) UTF-8 string which, if synth_type is Atspi.KeySynthType.STRING, indicates a 'composed' keyboard input string being synthesized; this type of keyboard event synthesis does not emulate hardware keypresses but injects the string as though a composing input method (such as XIM) were used.
- synth_type: Atspi.KeySynthType
  an Atspi.KeySynthType flag indicating whether keyval is to be interpreted as a keysym rather than a keycode (Atspi.KeySynthType.SYM) or a string (Atspi.KeySynthType.STRING) or a modifier mask (Atspi.KeySynthType.LOCKMODIFIERS and Atspi.KeySynthType.UNLOCKMODIFIERS), or whether to synthesize Atspi.KeySynthType.PRESS, Atspi.KeySynthType.RELEASE, or both (Atspi.KeySynthType.PRESSRELEASE).
Returns boolean
true if successful, otherwise false.
