I am using a script called SendKeys (https://github.com/kyoto/sendkeys) which I want to use to send keyboard strokes to Skype.
I am able to get SendKeys to works perfectly with pluma (a text editor) and Google Chrome.
Send Keys works by sending keys to the name of an X-window, e.g.:
bash sendkey.sh 'Google Chrome' Control+v
I can send keys to Google Chrome by supplying the window 'Google Chrome' or 'Chrome' and for Pluma 'pluma' (lower case.) However I am not able to send anything to Skype. I do not know if this is because of a compatability issue or because I can't find out the name of the window.
Can anyone suggest how you determine the name of a x-window?
Or failing that suggest another way I may be able to send keyboard strokes to Skype.

If you are unable to click on the window you want, you can use:
or
Those should list all windows open by their names. The first one worked better for me.
