[QA] Is it possible to send actual keypresses instead of strings?

[Amir E. Aharoni]

To people who are curious about it:

I worked with Željko in the WMF office this week to try to get it working.
The solution that Željko found is to use Sikuli - http://www.sikuli.org/ ,
a tool that can emulate proper mouse clicks and keyboard presses. Željko
implemented it in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/83966/ , and it works
on his laptop. The next step is to make it work on our continuous
integration clients ;)
