Keyboard input - e.g. Gesture for Ctrl_W

[ben2talk]

I tried this software, and discovered it works for drawing an 'f' to execute the command 'firefox -p' to launch Firefox - that's great.

I can see also that it would work for launching scripts, so
a script to check/kill or launch an application should be easy to enter as a Command ~/Admin/strawberry.sh

However, many 'gestures' I use are simply keyboard shortcuts... like Tab: Close Ctrl_W Reopen Sh_Ctrl_N Overview Alt+F11 set in shortcuts etc. and I cannot figure out how to change 'command' to 'keyboard'.

If you are on X11 you can use the program xdotool in a command to preform a keyboard shortcut.

Ex: xdotool key ctrl+w will preform Ctrl+W

Ok, making some progress now...
I'm using ydo tool, but it's not easy to input commands, so I'm using scripts.

#!/usr/bin/env bash

YDOTOOL_SOCKET="$HOME/.ydotool_socket" ydotool key 29:1 17:1 29:0 17:0

# Ctrl+W to close a tab. (see /usr/include/linux/input-event-codes.h for available codes)
# KEY_W		17
# KEY_LEFTCTRL	29

This works well.

Now the main issue is that the 'shape' key is denied, so I have no middle mouse button function on my desktop (for example, middle-click scrolling Firefox).
