Scripting help: listen if window exist then send F6 to wine application.
by Johannes33 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5QVQ2)
Hi,
I run manjaro kde-plasma.
I would like to use a key combination to play/pause all my audio/media outputs.
In wine I run a program that I have to send F6 to to make it play/pause.
I think the best way is to write a script that looks if my wine app is active and then changes the media key to be sent as F6 to the program in wine.
I have a couple of questions:
1) blunt and simple: could someone help me create a script that works?
I have created a xdotool command that sends F6 to the wine program when executed in the terminal, but I have not been able to make it work reliably using xbindkeys.
here is my attempt in ~/.xbindkeysrc

2) Could you see what is wrong?
Also to get xbindkeys to start automatically I should place xbindkeys' in ~/.xinitrc before the line that starts my window manager or DE.
3) But where is that?
here is the file. I tried on line 12 but that screwed up my login screen:
