screenkey: Launch screenkey at a specific position.
$ screenkey --position ${select}
try on your machine

The command screenkey --position ${select} is used to run the screenkey program with a specified position argument.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • screenkey is the name of the program being executed.
  • --position is an option or flag that is passed to the screenkey program.
  • ${select} is a variable that holds the value of the position argument. The actual value is not shown here, but it would be provided when running the command.

The purpose of the screenkey program is to display what keys are being pressed on the screen, allowing the user to record or display their keystrokes. The --position option specifies the position on the screen where the key display should be placed. The value of ${select} would determine this position, with valid values typically being something like top, bottom, left, right, or center.

So, by executing this command with the appropriate value for ${select}, you can run the screenkey program and position the key display on your screen accordingly.
