Description

Unicode text can be typed into X11 applications by simulating key presses. It is useful for automation, text snippets, testing, or entering characters that are awkward on the keyboard.

Fake typing sends input to the focused window. Confirm focus before using it and avoid typing secrets through broad automation.
