No. By default generating synthetic events is considered a security
risk. which is why so many applications now no longer support them.
For my education ... what are *exactly* synthetic events ?
- those generated by a command like xdotool click 2 ?
(if executed after a sleep calling it into another window, it works
in an xterm)
- those generated by fvwm as actions of a Key or PointerKey directive ?
I tried (from manpage)
Key (xterm) V A C Echo ctrl-V-in-Term
and it works and writes the message to .xsession-errors
So what could be an "action" to be put at the end of a Key or PointerKey
directive to do a X11 native "paste from clipboard" (other that xdotool
click 2 which introduces a level of indirection) ?
I am pursuing another suggestion (more to come), otherwise as last resort
I will be forced to replace (on the laptop) usage of xterm with urxvt
(I'll have to look for all my colours and font size settings) ... I do not
like the newer console for xfce terminals.
