如何使用XCB向应用程序发送按键事件？

Question

如何使用

XCB

将按键或按键释放事件从另一个程序发送到窗口（当前活动窗口）？

我找到了一些使用

XLib

的教程，但是我想使用

XCB

。

我想我必须调用

xcb_send_event

，但是我不知道将什么作为参数传递。

Answer 1

您应该能够使用 XTEST 扩展通过 xcb_test_fake_input() 函数来伪造活动窗口的输入。

#include <xcb/xtest.h>
...
xcb_test_fake_input(c, XCB_KEY_PRESS, keycode, XCB_CURRENT_TIME, XCB_NONE, 0, 0, 0);
xcb_test_fake_input(c, XCB_KEY_RELEASE, keycode, XCB_CURRENT_TIME, XCB_NONE, 0, 0, 0);

请参阅 xcb/demos 中的 xte 程序以获得工作示例。

Answer 2

可能的替代方案：

xcb_send_event()

参见： X11R7.7 API文档

来自那里的例子：

/*
 * Tell the given window that it was configured to a size of 800x600 pixels.
 */
void my_example(xcb_connection_t* conn, xcb_window_t window) {

    //
    // Every X11 event is 32 bytes long. Therefore, XCB will copy 32 bytes.
    // In order to properly initialize these bytes, we allocate 32 bytes even
    // though we only need less for an xcb_configure_notify_event_t
    //
    xcb_configure_notify_event_t* event = calloc(32, 1);

    event->event = window;
    event->window = window;
    event->response_type = XCB_CONFIGURE_NOTIFY;

    event->x = 0;
    event->y = 0;
    event->width = 800;
    event->height = 600;

    event->border_width = 0;
    event->above_sibling = XCB_NONE;
    event->override_redirect = false;

    xcb_send_event(conn, false, window, XCB_EVENT_MASK_STRUCTURE_NOTIFY, (char*) event);
    xcb_flush(conn);
    free(event);
}

Answer 3

使用香草

XCB

（即没有像

XTEST

这样的扩展），使用

xcb_send_event()

：

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <xcb/xcb.h>

xcb_screen_t* xcb_get_screen(xcb_connection_t* connection, int screen_idx){  // Return a screen from its number!
    const xcb_setup_t* setup = xcb_get_setup(connection);
    for(xcb_screen_iterator_t screen_it = xcb_setup_roots_iterator(setup);  screen_it.rem;  --screen_idx, xcb_screen_next(&screen_it))
        if(screen_idx==0) return screen_it.data;
    return NULL;
}

void xcb_send_key_press(xcb_connection_t* connection, xcb_window_t root, xcb_window_t window, xcb_keycode_t keycode){  // http://t-sato.in.coocan.jp/xvkbd/events.html
    xcb_key_press_event_t ev;  memset(&ev,0x00,sizeof(xcb_key_press_event_t));
    ev.response_type = XCB_KEY_PRESS;
    ev.detail        = keycode;
    ev.time          = XCB_CURRENT_TIME;
    ev.root          = root;
    ev.event         = window;
    ev.state         = 0x0000;  // xcb_mod_mask_t: XCB_MOD_MASK_SHIFT XCB_MOD_MASK_LOCK XCB_MOD_MASK_CONTROL XCB_MOD_MASK_1 XCB_MOD_MASK_2 XCB_MOD_MASK_3 XCB_MOD_MASK_4 XCB_MOD_MASK_5 XCB_MOD_MASK_ANY
    ev.same_screen   = 1;
    xcb_send_event(connection, 0/*1*/, window/*XCB_SEND_EVENT_DEST_ITEM_FOCUS*/, XCB_EVENT_MASK_NO_EVENT/*XCB_EVENT_MASK_KEY_PRESS XCB_EVENT_MASK_NO_EVENT*/, (const char*)&ev);  // @XCB_SEND_EVENT_DEST_ITEM_FOCUS needs to have @propate set to 1?  // every X11 event is 32 bytes
}

int main(){  // תִּשְׂמָ֑ח
    int xcb_screen_idx;
    xcb_connection_t*  xcb_connection = xcb_connect(NULL,&xcb_screen_idx);
    xcb_screen_t*      xcb_screen     = xcb_get_screen(xcb_connection,xcb_screen_idx);  // xcb_meta(xcb_connection,xcb_screen_idx);

    // ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    xcb_get_input_focus_cookie_t get_input_focus_cookie = xcb_get_input_focus_unchecked(xcb_connection);
    xcb_get_input_focus_reply_t* get_input_focus_reply  = xcb_get_input_focus_reply(xcb_connection, get_input_focus_cookie, NULL);

    xcb_send_key_press(xcb_connection, xcb_screen->root, get_input_focus_reply->focus, 38);
    xcb_flush(xcb_connection);

    free(get_input_focus_reply);

    // ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    xcb_disconnect(xcb_connection);
}
