Unlike those, however, it's not tied to any desktop environment and doesn't require installation of an accessibility framework. Thus it's well-suited for users of lightweight environments like LXDE or just plain Openbox.

How does it compare to other X window event generating/monitoring tools such as...

xmacro
xautomation
xvkdb
xdotool

Also macro execution tools like
xbindkeys
xhkeys
xhotkeys
xrebind

Of course  xautolock also allows you to execute something when mouse
is in a specific position, though it is not designed for that purpose
in general.


See My Hint and tips (especially for geting specific keys to type in
kerboard macro string (liek email addresses) in any input box on screen.
