unix command : how to insert text at the cursor location via command line?
Hi,
Well my title isn't very clear I think. So to understand my goal:
I have a script "test1"
with xbindkeys, I bind F5 key in order it runs my test1 script
So when I press F5, test1 runs.
I'm under Emacs/Vi and I press F5 in order to have "blabla" be written at the cursor location.
... but I dunno why when I use it through xbindkeys, "blabla" text isn't written when I press F5 but when I release it ... and I have to release the F5 key very fast else nothing is printed.
And what is more, in firefox it is printed at the same speed as I type... lol ... to much slow ... imagine If instead of "blabla" I have a complete sentence xD
Instead of xbindkeys , I tried gnome keybindings (in metacity) directly too ... but it was even worst concerning the timing
I didn't find a real command that would print a text at the cursor location.... instead of simulate the keyboard ... which doesn't seem to be a good idea :/
please , may someone know a such command or have a good idea ? ^^
Hi, I am looking for a unix command which inserts double quotes around all values in a text file. For example,

"9646" "457" "5647" "5066762"
"5656" "366" "5869"... (2 Replies)
Hi,
When working in vi, the CTRL+j command for merging lines is very convenient. Is there an equivalent for splitting them (inserting a line break)? I often find myself pressing "i" + "return" + "esc", which I find a bit lengthy.
Thanks in advance! (3 Replies)
