GNU Xnee is a suite of programs that can record, replay and distribute user actions under the X11 environment. It can be used for testing and demonstrating X11 applications.[2] Within X11 each user input (mouse click or key press) is an X Window System event. Xnee records these events into a file. Later Xnee is used to play the events back from the file and into an X Window System just as though the user were operating the system.[3] Xnee can also be used to play or distribute user input events to two or more machines in parallel.[2] As the target X Window application sees what appears to be physical user input it has resulted in Xnee being dubbed “Xnee is Not an Event Emulator.”[3][4]
As Xnee is free software, it can be modified to handle special tasks. For example, inserting time stamps as part of the playback.[5]
