Moonstar@lemmy.fmhy.mlOPtoLinux@lemmy.ml•Scripting Question - xdotool and ratbagctlEnglish
1·
1 year agoI have been tinkering with my script some more and figured I would post an update:
- As I have been experimenting with the script, I have noticed some weird window dragging issues. I have learned that, if you switch a profile, your mouse is temporarily interrupted, even when switching to the same profile. So, I have added a variable that stores the profile to ensure that you only switch when actually needed.

Don’t you mean from 1 to 11? (And 3 is not a valid option.) Sorry, I saw an opening for a stupid joke and had to jump.
