Ask HN: Tools for Code Typing Simulation?
There is https://github.com/hofstadter-io/self-driving-desktop that enables you to "drive" the mouse and keyboard across applications. I originally built this for automating recordings. It even has a recording feature itself, so you can go through the demo by hand and then cleanup the steps afterwards.

gtk-rs: can't get window ID with command inside connect_show or connect_realize
In a gtk-rs application, I'm running a xdotool command to get the id of the application's window. I'm running the command in a connect_show closure (after the window has been shown):

My (challenging) experience building a window switcher for Ubuntu
Eventually, I needed to find the ID of windows, move them, and bring them to the front—I realized I couldn't do that with gtk-rs. I needed to interact with the window manager (X11 server). So from inside my application, I ran commands that called xdotool.

I cannot take it any longer, please, help!
You might be able to use audacity in the background by setting up an application launcher in the gnome panel that executes xdotool, which can send keyboard signals (like R for record) to running applications: https://github.com/jordansissel/xdotool

Ask HN: What's Your Proudest Hack?
I often create screen recordings for my classes, but it's very boring and time consuming. I'm a perfectionist, and if I mistype a command I prefer to re-record everything. Moreover, every time one of the tools used in the videos gets a significant update, I feel compelled to redo the video.
I have started using xdotool [1] to create bash scripts that send mouse clicks and keystrokes to apps. Interleaving calls to xdotool with the "sleep" command [2] produce a convincing effect. If I need to redo a video to fix typos or after a program update, I just fix the bash script and restart the recording.
Alas, the only thing that is missing in my videos is the sound of keyboard clicks… But nothing is perfect!
