you mean: idk man, its pretty awesome being at the top of the pyramid

This worked for me:

bash -c "sleep 2 && ydotool type abcde12345"

Thank you! I couldn’t find any good instructions for the Command field of custom keyboard shortcuts.

Thanks, unfortunately ydotool has removed their sleep command stating ‘this should be your shell’s job’. I tried using the standard shell sleep command and used the semicolon to chain commands. Maybe thats not how to use the command field of the custom shortcut.

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?

Thanks for the reply Hades, the output of that command is:

It would not surprise me if America stopped giving out food stamps and started giving out fast food vouchers instead.

Doesn’t that then qualify the content as shitpost? 🤔

This is why I support socialist policy at a national level and and polite sovereignty amongst nations.

Being ‘globalist’ can still be defined as compassionate and productive relationships built on the acceptance of diversity amongst cultures.

I cannot even see how, as one species, there can be an us and them? We must learn deeply that there is a unity where we are both the same and also different at the same time.
