[SOLVED] How to simulate keyboard presses?

Hi,
Do you know how I can simulate keyboard presses? I have seen people talking about sending the letters directly to /dev/kbd but what if I want to simulate arrow key press? Basicly I want to be able to simulate arrow keys and spacebar keydown event.

I never did something about simulating key presses before, but searching in Google I found this. Basically, you can use the packages xautomation and xte (from python or directly).

Best regards.
