You're right that is a really handy feature. I thought about it at the beginning of the project but never found a solution to implement it. But yesterday, I maybe found a way to do it through xdotool. Maybe I'll use this or try to implement it myself with xdotool-code as a guideline.

yea u can use xdotool/xte for auto typing, xprop/xwininfo to find the window names and combine those somehow =)

Okay, after a little bit playing aroung with xdotool it seems to be exactly what I've searched for. It can even find window IDs by name.

There are two problems I still have:

  • Selecting the window of the standard browser. Maybe I'll add an entry to the config file for this.
  • Ensure that the form in the browser is selected.

Maybe you or someone else has a suggestion?

i believe u can use "wmctrl" to take focus of a window, otherwise u can just make the user select the window with their mouse
