// xdotool-helper.mjs (user service steam-keyboard-patch): injects the patch
// (patch.js wrapped with the finder library by mkPatch,
// steam-ui-patches/lib/default.nix) into Steam's UI via CEF DevTools itself
// (not through the steam-ui-patches injector) and performs the key requests
// of the patched VR keyboard with xdotool on :0.
// On SIGTERM/SIGINT it reverts the patch (unpatch.js), so stopping the service
// restores Steam's stock keyboard without restarting Steam.
// usage: node xdotool-helper.mjs <patch.js> <unpatch.js> [xdotool]
