Provides bindings to libxdo for manipulating X11 via simulated input. (Note that this is mostly a legacy library; you may wish to look at python-xdo for newer bindings.)

Xclip is a command line interface to the X11 clipboard. It can also be used for copying files, as an alternative to sftp/scp, thus avoiding password prompts when X11 forwarding has already been setup.

bemenu is a dynamic menu which allows the user to flexibly select from a list of options (usually programs to launch). It renders the menu graphically with X11 or Wayland, or in a text terminal with ncurses.

Xkeysnail is an X environment keyboard remapping tool, featuring high-level and flexible remapping mechanisms. It affects the low-level layers (evdev and uinput), making remapping work in almost all the places.

This package provides a wrapper script around x11-clipboard to use it as a clipboard on X11 also. It also contains helper scripts for xclip and xsel to assist with the transition.

Libfakekey is a virtual keyboard library for X.

Unclutter is a program which runs permanently in the background of an X11 session. It checks on the X11 pointer (cursor) position every few seconds, and when it finds it has not moved (and no buttons are pressed on the mouse, and the cursor is not in the root window) it creates a small sub-window as a child of the window the cursor is in. The new window installs a cursor of size 1x1 but a mask of all 0, i.e. an invisible cursor. This allows you to see all the text in an xterm or xedit, for example. The human factors crowd would agree it should make things less distracting.

xbanish hides the mouse cursor when you start typing, and shows it again when the mouse cursor moves or a mouse button is pressed.

Bemoji is an emoji picker for dmenu-like launchers (e.g. bemenu, wofi, rofi, fuzzel, etc.) It will remember your favorite emojis and give you quick access to them via a separately installed clipboard tool (e.g. wl-copy, xclip, etc.), or a typing tool (wtype, xdotool, etc.), or via standard output.

Startup-notification contains a reference implementation of the startup notification protocol. The reference implementation is mostly under an X Window System style license, and has no special dependencies.

The x-resize command detects physical display resolution changes via udev and invokes the xrandr command to reconfigure the active display resolution accordingly. It can be used to implement dynamic resize support for desktop environments that lack native support such as Xfce.

XSel is a command-line program for getting and setting the contents of the X selection and/or clipboard. Normally this is only accessible by manually highlighting information and pasting it with the middle mouse button.

XSel reads from standard input and writes to standard output by default, but can also follow a growing file, display contents, delete entries and more.

XOSD provides a C library and a simple utility (osd_cat) for displaying transparent text on your screen.

Start clipmenud, then run clipmenu to select something to put on the clipboard.

When clipmenud detects changes to the clipboard contents, it writes them out to the cache directory. clipmenu reads the cache directory to find all available clips and launches dmenu (or rofi, depending on the value of CM_LAUNCHER) to let the user select a clip. After selection, the clip is put onto the PRIMARY and CLIPBOARD X selections.

The XCB util module provides a number of libraries which sit on top of libxcb, the core X protocol library, and some of the extension libraries. These experimental libraries provide convenience functions and interfaces which make the raw X protocol more usable. Some of the libraries also provide client-side code which is not strictly part of the X protocol but which has traditionally been provided by Xlib.

XCB util-xrm module provides the following libraries:

- xrm: utility functions for the X resource manager.

The xf86-input-wacom driver is the wacom-specific X11 input driver for the X.Org X Server version 1.7 and later (X11R7.5 or later).

xss-lock listens to X signals to fire up a user-defined screensaver. In effect this automatically locks the screen when closing a laptop lid or after a period of user inactivity (as set with xset s TIMEOUT). The notifier command, if specified, is executed first. Additionally, xss-lock uses the inhibition logic to lock the screen before the system goes to sleep.

Pyperclip is a clipboard module for Python, handling copy/pasting from the X11 clipboard

GNU Xnee is a program that can record, replay and distribute user actions in X11. It can be used to automate user interactions for testing or demonstration purposes.

AutoKey is a desktop automation utility for X11. It allows the automation of virtually any task by responding to typed abbreviations and hotkeys. It offers a full-featured GUI (GTK and QT versions) that makes it highly accessible for novices, as well as a scripting interface offering the full flexibility and power of the Python language.

slop (Select Operation) is a tool that queries for a selection from a user and prints the region to stdout. It grabs the mouse and turns it into a crosshair, lets the user click and drag to make a selection (or click on a window) while drawing a pretty box around it, then finally prints the selection's dimensions to stdout.

sxhkd is a simple X hotkey daemon with a powerful and compact configuration syntax.

physlock locks all virtual terminals at once, only allowing the user of the active session (the user logged into the foreground virtual terminal) to unlock the computer. It is an alternative to vlock -an, written to overcome vlock's limitations regarding hibernate and suspend.

Wmctrl interacts with an X window manager that is compatible with the EWMH/NetWM specification. It can query the window manager for information, and request for certain window management actions (resize and move windows, switch between desktops, etc.).
