[Java-gnome-developer] How to send key press event using java?

[Niranjan Rao]

Greetings,

I would like to do something similar to
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6796191/how-to-send-key-events-to-webkit-webview-control
or similar to copied answer from stack overflow question. I could see
the handlers for receiving events, but could not see anything that can
emit the events. How can I achieve this?

event = gtk.gdk.Event(gtk.gdk.KEY_PRESS)
event.keyval = gtk.keysyms.Return
event.time = 0
browser.emit('key-press-event', event)


Regards,

Niranjan

might be what you want, though, as mentioned that's very much for
testing.

If you're trying to "make something happen" that's bound to a keystroke,
then you might be better off with Actions and triggering the action()
directly.

Thank you. As you mentioned I am trying to "make something happen".
Unfortunately call is deep inside webkit and webkit gtk does not expose
any API for that. Right now only way seems to be sending key/mouse
events but I'll keep investigating.
