Automate browsing on Debian 12 (KDE 5.7) using image recognition, keyboard, and mouse automation.

To automate browsing on Debian 12 (KDE 5.7) using image recognition, keyboard, and mouse automation, follow this structured approach:

---

0. LLM API.

U can use an LLM , say gpt4,

to generate a script with the below Tools: xdotool, AutoKey, wmctrl, scrot, PyAutoGUI, OpenCV .

---

1. Install Required Tools

Run the following command to install all dependencies:

sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y xdotool autokey-gtk autokey-qt wmctrl qdbus scrot python3-pip
pip install pyautogui opencv-python numpy pillow

• xdotool → Simulate keyboard & mouse input.

• AutoKey → Macro automation.

• wmctrl → Control windows.

• scrot → Screenshot tool for image recognition.

• PyAutoGUI → GUI automation with image recognition.

• OpenCV → Advanced image processing.

---

2. Automate Browser Actions Using Image Recognition

Using PyAutoGUI

(a) Open Browser & Navigate

import pyautogui
import time

# Open Firefox
pyautogui.hotkey('ctrl', 'alt', 't')  # Open terminal
time.sleep(1)
pyautogui.write('firefox\n')  # Launch Firefox
time.sleep(3)

# Click on Address Bar
pyautogui.hotkey('ctrl', 'l')  
pyautogui.write('https://www.debian.org\n')

(b) Locate & Click Elements via Screenshots

1. Take a Screenshot of the Button

    scrot ~/button.png
   

2. Find & Click the Button

    button = pyautogui.locateCenterOnScreen('~/button.png')
    if button:
        pyautogui.click(button)
    else:
        print("Button not found!")
   

---

3. Automate Browser with xdotool

(a) Open a Website

xdotool search --onlyvisible --class "firefox" windowactivate key ctrl+l type "https://www.google.com" key Return

(b) Click a Button via Coordinates

xdotool mousemove 500 300 click 1

(c) Scroll & Navigate

xdotool key Down Down Down
xdotool key ctrl+Tab  # Switch tab

---

4. Automate Browser Using Selenium (Headless)

If GUI automation is not required, use Selenium WebDriver.

(a) Install Selenium & Chrome WebDriver

pip install selenium webdriver-manager

(b) Automate Google Search

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://www.google.com")

search_box = driver.find_element("name", "q")
search_box.send_keys("Debian 12 Automation")
search_box.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)

---

5. Automate KDE Desktop & Browser With AutoKey

1. Open AutoKey (autokey-gtk)

2. Create a New Script:

    keyboard.send_keys("<ctrl>+t")  # Open a new tab
    time.sleep(1)
    keyboard.send_keys("https://www.debian.org\n")  # Type URL
   

3. Assign a Hotkey (Example: Ctrl+Shift+X)

---

6. Automate Browser Using QDBus

Open a Firefox Tab:

qdbus org.mozilla.firefox /browser org.mozilla.firefox.LoadURI "https://www.debian.org"

---

EXAMPLE 1 .

xdotool search --onlyvisible --class "firefox" windowactivate --sync key --delay 100 ctrl+l
xdotool type "https://www.google.com"
xdotool key Return
