Interested in contributing to KDEConnect

[Albert Vaca]

Hello Ahmed,

Maybe you want to change and use "uinput", the linux input
system, directly. With uinput you can register yourself as an input device,
just like a real mouse or touchpad. This has several advantages, like that
the settings in KDE that are applied to the mouse will also be applied to
your input, or that you will be able to simulate smooth scroll (pixel by
pixel and not line by line).

I haven't tried it, but I just found an example that uses uinput and
simulates a scroll wheel: http://android.serverbox.ch/?p=334

Also there is a library to make it easy to use uinput from user space:
http://tjjr.fi/sw/libsuinput/

If you want to keep with XTest and can manage to make it work it's fine,
I'm just suggesting a different approach in case XTest is not enough :)

Cheers!
Albert
