User Input Forwarding

By default all user input (mouse, keyboard, touch) commands sent to WebDriver are constrained to Qt event loop

This is differents from events originating from a real device which are forwarded by the linux kernel and thus can reach the entire system, as shown below.

This feature enables WebDriver forwarding key events beyond Qt event loop in order to simulate remote control key presses

VNC Forwarding

Launch WebDriver with the --vnc-login=login:password@ip:port command line switch to specify a VNC server or port to redirect /session/:sessionId/key to.

See main.cc for full code sample.

Linux User Input Forwarding

Launch WebDriver with the --uinput command line switch to redirect /session/:sessionId/key to the User Input Device.

See main.cc for full code sample.
