$ xdotool type -14.7873
type: unrecognized option '-14.7873'
Usage: type [--window windowid] [--delay milliseconds] <things to type>
--window <windowid>    - specify a window to send keys to
--delay <milliseconds> - delay between keystrokes
--clearmodifiers       - reset active modifiers (alt, etc) while typing
--args N  - how many arguments to expect in the exec command. This is
            useful for ending an exec and continuing with more xdotool
            commands
--terminator TERM - similar to --args, specifies a terminator that
                    marks the end of 'exec' arguments. This is useful
                    for continuing with more xdotool commands.
