Dear All,
I’m currently working with the following setup:
I start Xephyr with:
Xephyr :99 -screen 1920x1080 -ac -br -noreset &
Then, I launch Openbox inside the Xephyr display:
DISPLAY=:99 openbox &
Inside Openbox, I open Chrome.
When I try to save a page in Chrome using Ctrl + S, the save dialog window pops up as expected. However, I’m unable to interact with this dialog window using xdotool. It seems the dialog is not reachable or detectable by xdotool.
Has anyone encountered this issue before? Is there a way to gain control of the Chrome save dialog window using xdotool or any alternative tool? Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
IMHO since Chrome is running inside Xephyr, which is an X server, and kdotool is for Wayland, that would be hard to do.
