xvkbd -text "control + pageup"

I need the modifier for xvkbd that will allow me to send Ctrl+page up to the focused window.

I have this so far: xvkbd -text "\C"

That send control but I don't know how to get page up. Any ideas?

xdotool can do this , try something like

xdotool key ctrl+PageUp

The spelling may be Page_Up or pageup (or maybe all of these are accepted).

Re: xvkbd -text "control + pageup"

I once tried to make a context sensitive wrapper for xdotool and xbindkeys, but it was really slow (I don't know how xvkbd would do though).

If you find that it's too slow it may be better to just bind an unused key to ctrl+pgup with xmodmap instead.

Try:

"xvkbd  -text "\[Control]\[Prior]""

I spent the last hour tweaking my own xbindkeys.

The command

xbindkeys -k

Willtell you what the name for a given key is.
