Okay. I get what you're saying here. Thanks.

xte 'keydown space' 'keyup space'
and
xte 'str ' (two spaces)

both work without a complaint.

However, this still only works about once every 8 tries.

I don't understand why it's being such a pill to me.

Auouymous made a mention once that this is because the N800 doesn't have any hardware keys.

F3 can also be a substitute for what I'm attempting to do here. Both F3 and a Spacebar function the same in a game that I'm playing.

However,
xte 'keydown F3' 'keyup F3' (no errors on this either)
only works around 15% of the time as well.

Any chance you could problem solve this?

Maybe I need a N810 special file somewhere in /usr/share/X11/xkb/* or something.

I really don't know.

Thanks for the feedback lma.
