How do I send the combination: key alt+space?
I have tried key alt+ with space, Space, spacebar, Spacebar, and .
Also
xdotool keydown alt type ' '
xdotool keyup alt
In /usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h I found the line
#define XK_space 0x0020 /* U+0020 SPACE */
The # made me dubious, and sure enough none of key alt+ with XK_space,
0x0020, U+0020 had any effect either. So I removed the #, restarted X
and tried the last 3 again. And again, nothing.
So how is it done?
