Auto Typers To Investigate

I'm writing a little VS Code extension that reads a set of typing directions from a script that it then outputs to a VS Code window.

I'll be making a Neovim one as well:

[issue: could not generate tlink]

There are already a few VS Code ones out there, but they don't work the way I want. That's how I ended up building my own.

What I didn't really do is look at the command line tools that are more generally avaialble. This is a list of those to investigate that folks on discord mentioned:

  • xdotool
  • script
  • scriptreplay
  • demo-magic
  • asciicinema
  • expect
  • pv

    I've seen asciicinema before. It's very cool, but not what I'm looking for. Should be fun to check the other ones out.
