Fedora 39/40 has a bug where xdotool needs remote desktop permissions every time you try to use it if you're running X11. Making a random unicode button is turning out to be harder than I thought.
@UncleIroh That's what's weird; It's all local. It also only grants permissions for a single xdotool command, then it loses them and will not reprompt you unless you kill the remote permission notification. Goofyness abounds.

Locally it shouldn't. xdotool is used to simulate keyboard input and mouse activity on X11 systems, so it requires those perms only if you're running it over a network protocol like VNC.
I use Debian, but if I recall, using and configuring a VNC server like vinagre should fix this. Hope this helps.
