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, 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.
