gdkTestSimulateKey {RGtk2} | R Documentation

## gdkTestSimulateKey

### Description

This function is intended to be used in Gtk+ test programs. If (`x`,`y`) are > (-1,-1), it will warp the mouse pointer to the given (`x`,`y`) corrdinates within `window` and simulate a key press or release event. When the mouse pointer is warped to the target location, use of this function outside of test programs that run in their own virtual windowing system (e.g. Xvfb) is not recommended. If (`x`,`y`) are passed as (-1,-1), the mouse pointer will not be warped and `window` origin will be used as mouse pointer location for the event. Also, `gtkTestSimulateKey()` is a fairly low level function, for most testing purposes, `gtkTestWidgetSendKey` is the right function to call which will generate a key press event followed by its accompanying key release event.

### Usage

``window`` | Gdk window to simulate a key event for.
