Description: # plover-xtest-input
        Capture input from the xtest keyboard.
        
        Only on systems that uses X.
        Would be useful to use Plover from other machines from a remote control program
        (TeamViewer, for example) if it uses xtest keyboard to send key presses.
        
        Note: must not be used together with the default output method
        (which uses xtest to simulate key presses. That will create an infinite loop).
        
        Alternative output methods include [plover-uinput-output](https://github.com/user202729/plover-uinput-output)
        (works better, but does not support full Unicode), and [plover-unused-xtest-output](https://github.com/user202729/plover-unused-xtest-output)
        (doesn't work as well, especially with keyboard shortcuts)
        
        For testing, `xdotool` can be used.
        
        ### Machines
        
        When the plugin is installed, two additional machines are listed,
        `XTEST keyboard` and `XTEST serial keyboard`.
        
        * `XTEST keyboard` captures the key up/key down events like from a normal keyboard.
        * `XTEST serial keyboard` captures the key presses events from the XTEST keyboard, then
           decode it to a chord using some algorithm (see the source code for details).
        
           This was implemented to use Plover over TeamViewer/Dotterel. To use it, you should
           download Dotterel (some version that includes [this commit](https://github.com/user202729/dotterel/commit/ba36bd4ffe59626999b98fa1aeaa9e403c80e2ba).
           You may need to build it from source), disable all the dictionaries and only keep the
           `SerialEncoding` dictionary, then use it normally.
