How to reach end of page with xdotool, how to page up and down

How can I command a window to go to end of page with xdotool?

  • "key End" seems to send and End keystroke, but nothing happens: xdotool selectwindow key End

  • "click 5" scrolls down, but how to know if the page has reached the end?

Also, the PageUp and PageDown keys doesn't seem to be accepted.

run on Ubuntu 12.04

Solution

  • xdotool is finicky about page up and page down. It doesn't recognize 'PgUp' or 'PageUp' or 'Page-Up'. What seems to work:

    xdotool key Page_Up

    and

    xdotool key Page_Down
