Sending keyboard commands?
-
Using Linux Mint 19.1 Cinnamon flavor. Looking for something I can use with my Alexa devices to control/send keyboard commands to the Linux PC.
For example, I would like to say something like:
"Alexa, trigger workspaces on the PC"
and that would send the CTRL-ALT-Up Arrow (or any other desired keyboard combination I choose) to the PC.
Can this, or something close, be done with triggercmd?
Thanks!

@monty, have you tried xdotool?
