I’m using Protege for one of my projects involving Semantic web. I started with home made meaningful ids. But it is not really useful, neither really automatable. So I wanted to switch to auto-incremented Ids. I have >400 entities, I didn’t want to make all of them by hand. Timing is crucial to get this to work properly. Maybe having something to check color of pixels would help. But for a 2min effort script, that’s good enough.
echo "Be ready and go to the protege window"
sleep 1
echo "Is that ok?"
sleep 3
echo "I warned you"

xdotool mousemove $X_URI_WINDOW $Y_URI_WINDOW
for i in {0000342..349}

xdotool key ctrl+u
sleep 0.4
xdotool click 1
sleep 0.05
xdotool key End
sleep 0.05
xdotool key shift+Home
sleep 0.05
xdotool type `printf 'CN_%s\n' $i`
xdotool key Return
