thank you for an awesome tool. however while i can easily use
DOTOOL_XKB_LAYOUT=xx to be able to type international characters it
does not seem to work for the daemon/client?
echo type <swedish-character> | DOTOOL_XKB_LAYOUT=se dotoolc gives me
nothing and
echo type <swedish-character> | DOTOOL_XKB_LAYOUT=se dotool works as expected

thanks!

Yeah I'm afraid the DOTOOL_XKB_LAYOUT environment variable and friends
won't affect dotoolc (dotoolc merely passes actions to dotoold) but you
can set them when running dotoold in the first place:

    DOTOOL_XKB_LAYOUT=se dotoold &
    echo type <swedish-character> | dotoolc

Hope that's a help!
