  • That seems to have worked better, I can now run ydotool commands in terminal. Will a user level service have any specific limitations?

    When use this command as a custom keyboard shortcut:

    ydotool type abcde12345

    It will miss the first few characters and type:

    de12345

    When I try chaining shell commands to pause and wait before typing, it doesn’t work at all:

    sleep 2; ydotool type abcde12345

    Any ideas on how I could automate ydotool as a keyboard hotkey? Custom shortcut to run a bash script maybe?


















  • I play piano. I don’t practice, I play. I play to hear the pleasing sounds, not to ‘get better’ although a byproduct of playing regularly is improvement. When I’m playing, the whole world is tuned out, I see the keys but my mind is focused on the sounds and tonal intervals . I make a lot of mistakes but am nuetral towards them, I simply play parts again and again until it sounds ‘right’ and I enjoy the process of finding the right notes. I don’t read any music or play covers, I just pick a key and use the circle of fifths to improvise melodies and chord progressions into something meaningful and pleasing to my ears.
