HOWTO keyboard macros macro in linux
    Yup, its indeed possible to have system-wide application independent macros in unix! thanks to xmacros and whoever who wrote a guide somehere i don't remember.
    Step 1. Install the app
    aptitude install xmacro
    Step 2. Record the macro:
    xmacrorec -d 1400 > ~/quote
    wait...
    Step 3. xmacro isn't perfect so open ~/quote for editing, as many lines are repeated and need to be removed.
    Step 4. Replay the macro
    cat ~/quote | xmacroplay ":0.0"
    Basically xmacroplay plays the commands from a text file.The text file can be written manually or by the above recording method. Reading the examplbelow should make it all very easy.
