How to simulate keyboard button in Bash - linux

I have to simulate button press in my script.
I have a big application running in which I have to put some values in some fields and press enter so proceed to next panel and so on.
I got idea about simulating ENTER using echo "\n", but unable to find out how to simulate buttons like Function keys, arrow keys and pressing alphanumeric characters.
Any idea will be helpful

You can use expect to do this.

Can't press enter in jshell on Linux-terminal

I'm using Xubuntu. When I start jshell in the terminal, I doesn't recognize when I press the enter key. Every other key gets detected normaly. Any suggestions how to fix that?
Solution for laptop users without an number pad on their keyboard:
Plug in an extra keyboard with a number-pad.
Start jshell, try to press enter on your laptop keyboard.
If it still doesn't work: On the extra keyboard: press "Num" key with which you activate the number pad.
Now pressing enter on your laptop keyboard again.
It should work now, otherwise turn the numberpad off and on again and repeat step 4.
Don't know why it works that way, but it does.
Write the following in your terminal:
numlockx on
Now it will work. To make this permanent, let Xubuntu execute this after booting.

How can I get a real-time input via keyboard module?

import keyboard
def printPressedKey(e):
print("key pressed : {}".format(e.name))
keyboard.hook(printPressedKey)
keyboard.wait('esc')
this code prints pressed keys when I press esc. I want to print pressed keys as I press keys. How can I do this?
EDIT
This happens only when you execute python via nppexec in notepad++ so you just execute it on the console. Sorry for everyone ;(
Use pyinput package, it works well for both mouse and keyboard

Codeacademy: Move to next lesson with keyboard

I know that when you want to enter your code, you can press command(or windows) + Enter. But after that, you have to click the arrow at the bottom of the screen to go forward. Does anyone know if there's a keyboard shortcut to get past this? I can't figure it out.
The reason I ask is I'm using an external keyboard, since the keys on my laptop are getting sticky. So I'm a good distance away from the track pad when I'm working. Thanks.
I don't found also this.
But i check a few card with lession and all the forward button have same id = id="discovery-next".
I think there is way to make a macro for using this ;P

How to identify a ENTER keypress on a node in CTreeCtrl in VC++?

I am trying to perform something on an Enter key press on a tree view node. At present I am only able to detect mouse double click as it sends 'NM_DBLCLK' message after double clicking on the node.Is there any similar message sent on pressing ENTER key on the node? or is there any way to identify ENTER keypress?
This is in VC++ IDE.
Thanks in advance for answers.
I figured out that we can identify ENTER key press by checking for VK_RETURN condition.

Dialog menu not receiving Enter key

I’m currently writing an MFC dialog app which has a menu. The menu displays correctly and the menu entries work correctly via mouse, accelerators, and hotkeys (e.g., to quit: Ctrl+Q or Alt+F,Q).
Unfortunately, the Enter key doesn’t seem to work. That is, pressing Alt+F will open the File menu and pressing ↑ will highlight the Quit entry, but pressing Enter will not select it.
I know that using menus in dialog apps can be a bit tricky, but I’ve done this successfully before. However, that was a long time ago with a customized VS wizard, so I am trying to remember how to do this from scratch. I tried checking my old code, but could not find anything in reference to VK_RETURN. (No, there’s nothing special in PreTranslateMessage.)
These two questions are related, but they want the dialog to receive the key, I need the menu to get it.
Does anyone know what the problem is and how to fix it?
