Linux xdotool hangs if window type not found (not opened) -> subl hangs
Plugin is working firefox and firefox-trunk.
the following command xdotool search --sync --onlyvisible --class chromium windowfocus key F5
is working however inputing chromium in browsers won't make chromium to load.
That is for a linux up to date status.
Now for this issue if xdotool do not find window class it hangs until it is opened. This is because of the --sync.
Another issue is duplicate and --onlyvisible not working : firefox has invisible windows sometimes. So what you have to do is send key to all match results.
This command is much more effective:
xdotool search --onlyvisible --class firefox | while read w; do xdotool key --window $w F5; done
How ever if you have firefox-trunk and firefox it will send to both windows.
wmctrl dos not seem to have this oddbehaviour:
xdotool key --window $(wmctrl -l | grep -ie 'firefox' | awk "/$title/ {print "'$1}') F5
This is the best solution i've found. It supports all navigators based on their name, for example having firefox-trunk, we could use nigthly so the refresh will be sent only to nigthly. It also works with chromium, it avoids the deadlock described above.
I'm not a python guy but i will try to make a pull request for this.
