+This tool lets you programatically (or manually) simulate keyboard input
+and mouse activity, move and resize windows, etc. It does this using
+X11's XTEST extension and other Xlib functions.
+
+Example: focus the firefox url bar
+
+WID=`xdotool search "Mozilla Firefox" | head -1`
+xdotool windowfocus $WID
+xdotool key ctrl+l
