the libxdo library and not they keys I press to tell gsc to load
another line from the script. It is possible to filter they keys that
are displayed by their source, or is it impossible to determine the
source after the X server gets the event?
The event source is basically unknown.
If you're using xdotool with a window ID, you could filter the event by
using the send_event flag.
You could filter the events by their window target (that is: show only
events that go to specific windows). By what you're writing, you could
exclude events that go to the terminal where you're writing.
Would that suffice?

That's what I was afraid of. When my script runner is in keysym mode, it sends key presses to the current window. When I press a key to load the next line, it also gets sent to the same window. Maybe I can have the script runner send keys to a dummy window and then filter as you suggest. Does screenkey have an option to only display keys being sent to a specific window?

No, but it should be trivial enough to try and do some tests. In
Screenkey/inputlistener.py, look at the _kbd_process function. Before
the event is modified, you can check for ev.xkey.window and just return
to skip unwanted events.
Adding some proper code would be a bit more work to do things properly.

All right, I'll look into that. Thanks for the help.

I tried looking into this, but ev.xkey.window returns 0 regardless of the window used.

Indeed, it looks like it's always 0 also on my system.
I'm unsure if this is expected with XRecord, or if I made some mistake while decoding.

If you would like to look into getting the window ID, i'd gladly implement rest of the feature requested above.

After a cursory look, I don't see any obvious mistake. I fear XRecord might tap into the event before the target window id is calculated. No obvious documentation about this. I'll have to look at where XRecord takes the event.

Implemented a POC using python-xlib to get the correct window id.

I've seen people do that, but there's quite some overhead in this
method, and it's sadly going to break if you use a complex input method
with it's own composition window.
We're monitoring for focus changes. I wonder if that event contains the
correct window ID. At the very least, we can use it to cache the current
active ID.
