Keyboard shortcut doesn't work in Xubuntu 14.04 about xdotool HOT 6 OPEN

Related bug report in Launchpad: here

Hey, same thing here. The mousemove works, but the click does not! I'm using Xubuntu 14.04 (Xfce 4.10) too.

@acutbal try this and see if it works:

xdotool mousemove --sync 1050 5
sleep 0.2
xdotool click 1

It is working here!

Ok, after some tests, it looks like sometimes it works and some not.

In the above you could include the sleep command in xdotool command like this:
xdotool sleep 0.2 click 1
But as you told it does not work always.

Would it be more certain to use
xdotool keyup <your-shortcut-keybinding>
before the xdotool click command? In my testing it seems to work, but I think it would be better, if it was handled automatically by the shortcut program.

The idea was presented here

Thanks for the bug report!

Yes, or add another option for that purpose. Or something like 'xdotool keyup all'
