solved it with the --delay idea.

So,
$ xdotool keydown super keydown key space keyup super keyup space
doesn't work
This is what I see:
[04:28 PM] ~ $
[04:28 PM] ~ $ xdotool keydown super keydown key space keyup super keyup
space
 [04:28 PM] ~ $
[04:28 PM] ~ $

Note that the third line starts one space to the right (and there's a space
after $ as well).

But
$ xdotool keydown --delay 150 super keydown --delay 150 key space keyup
super keyup space
works perfectly.

Now I'll try to put things together.

Thanks once again,

Augustine
