No command line control?

[Josephur]

This is a great thing... however why no command line way to send a single keypress? Seems simple enough to implement.. was just wondering why this was never added to this project? Could be useful for bash scripting for example.

roku ip.addr -c H (to send home for example)

If I knew enough Python I'd attempt to add it myself, perhaps this is the motivation I need to do so :)

No specific reason, I just didn't consider the bash scripting use-case (it was originally intended to be used interactively).

It's a good idea, and I agree it probably wouldn't be too hard to implement. If you want to take a shot at implementing it, I'd welcome a pull request.

I may give it a crack, would need two options perhaps, one for the command itself to be sent and perhaps a delay flag to set the delay between keys sent.

I've implemented the command-line functionality with the following features:

• Added -c/--command flag for script mode
• Commands can be chained with commas (spaces optional)
• Case-insensitive command names
• Built-in 0.1s delay between commands for stability
• Special commands:
  • WAIT:seconds for custom delays
  • TEXT:string for text input

I've also added verbose command names (like 'home' instead of 'H') for better script readability while maintaining backward compatibility with the interactive mode.

Ready for review.
Let me know if any adjustments are needed.
