Re^3: X11::GUITest and Umlauts

It's been years since i used it, but you could potentially use Net::VNC as a workaround for sending key codes.

There's also the venerable X11::Xlib for a bit of low level access. Function XSendEvent() is potentially what you are looking for to send a XKeyEvent. You might also have to look at load_keymap() to look up how to translate Text strings into key codes, because X11 at this level handles row button presses, not text input.

Thanks, but as I already said, shelling out to xte from xautomation to send strings does the trick for me.
