Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Simulate enter key Post 303031676 by drew77 on Monday 4th of March 2019 07:35:32 AM

The window id changes with each boot even though it is for the same popup window.

Code:
#!/bin/bash
# xdotool selectwindow This determines the window id or 2nd method
# xdotool search --name "Error"
xdotool key --window 16777491 alt+F4

I need help with passing the value of xdotool search --name "Error" to xdotool key --window 16777491 alt+F4 statement.

--- Post updated at 06:35 AM ---

This works if run from a cli window but not when run as a Startup Application.


Using UbuntuMate 18.04.



Code:
#!/bin/bash
#
#  Automatically close that popup windows that occurs with every boot up 
#
# xdotool selectwindow This determines the window id or 2nd method
# xdotool search --name "Error"
id=$(xdotool search --name "Error")

xdotool key --window $id alt+F4
