Thats how I did it in Python:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/python
import sys
import subprocess
soundfile = 'typewriter-key-1.wav'
def main():
window_id = sys.argv[1]
cmd = ['xev', '-id', window_id]
p1 = subprocess.Popen(cmd, stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
while True:
line = p1.stdout.readline()
if line.find('KeyPress event') > -1:
subprocess.Popen(['aplay', soundfile],stderr=open('/dev/null','w'))
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't remember where I got the typewriter-key-1.wav file from.
It's amusing for about 30 seconds.... ;)
