key+mouse click simultaneous (xdotool)

Is it possible to simulate a keystroke ("N") and a mouse click simultaneous in linux?

I use xdotool on fedora linux distro

I didn't find nothing related to this possibility

Later Edit :

I found the following workaround. I post it as someone might have a similar problem.

Even if the key is not pressed simultaneous with the click you can have it already pressed using :

<pseudocode>
keydown [options] keystroke  - it will keep the key pressed.
Mouse click here.
keyup keystroke              - it will release the key
Solution

  • In new versions you can do

    xdotool keydown N click 1 keyup N

    In older versions you can do as you edited:

    xdotool keydown N
xdotool click 1
xdotool keyup N
