xdotool simulates keyboard input and mouse activity using X11's XTEST extension and other Xlib functions. It can move and resize windows, search for windows, and modify window properties like the title. If the window manager supports it, xdotool can also switch desktops, move windows between desktops, and change the number of desktops.
