Er yeeessss... but this seems to be a GUI problem. There is no way to signal to an app that the mouse ran over it from a script without actually moving the mouse. So how do u move the mouse pointer from software i.e a script rather than thru hardware i.e actually moving it. I want to do this as a small example style solving and don't have the energy to hack the sokoban source which is in major C++. So is there a way this bang can be done. I mean press M-23-45 and say have the mouse pointer move there. Windows has the mousekeys as an aceesibility feature and mebe that can be hacked but what about KDE or Gnome. Could u tell me a newsgroup or something to ask this q on? Thanks
