Question
I'm searching for an app that is cloning all my commands(mouse and keyboard) to a second window.
Especially for Browsers. I'd like to test a web page and want to see the different behavior in two windows(different revisions of the page) directly.
For example, in window 1 i click link3 and an a specific url opens. This should be done automatically in the second window. If i enter some formula data this should be cloned either.
Is there any application for windows oder linux which serves this desire?
i know that there are command line tools which clone commands in one terminal to several others.
Explanation / Answer
As for Linux - although there are tools to track mouse and keyboard events and send them to windows (xdotool), I would rather try to record a macros and then run it for different versions of the site, because to my opinion relying on x events for a task like visiting links and clicking buttons does not seem reliable enough.
I would try DejaClick Firefox extension for some simple things and consider picking one of tools listed here:
I am not a web developer (frankly, not a programmer at all), but I use xdotool for different proof-of-concept window control tasks and I believe cloning X events this way leaves a chance for things to go wrong. What if any other window would somehow grab focus during test?
