NAME
       xte - Generates fake input using the XTest extension

SYNOPSIS
       xte [options] commands...

DESCRIPTION
       xte  is	a program that generates fake input using the XTest extension,
       more reliable than xse.

OPTIONS
       A summary of options is included below.

       -i id  XInput 2.x device to use. List devices with 'xinput list'.

       -x display
	      Send commands to remote X server. Note that  some	 commands  may
	      not  work	 correctly  unless the display is on the console, e.g.
	      the display is currently controlled by the  keyboard  and	 mouse
	      and  not in the background. This seems to be a limitation of the
	      XTest extension.

LIMITATIONS
       The  str	 command doesn't support Unicode characters with more than two
       bytes. Further, character composing sequences to generate special char‐
       actes  are  limited  to	Multi_key plus two characters. The set of sup‐
       ported characters depends on the current keyboard layout.
