- How about using the synthetic event capability of olvwm?
-
- Something like:
-
- Determine what the current key-binding for the interactive warp
- Generate the event struct for it
- Determine the window id for olvwm
- XSendEvent() it
-
- Don't forget to start up olvwm to accept synthetic events (-allowSynthetic).
